In the first case they took a medical package reluctantly after months. In the second the person could have stayed at work, and was legally able to do so, but was basically pushed out. Some employers do react badly to this type of situation. Know your employer. | |

I've witnessed disability employees fired for made-up charges just because they just didn't need to fill quotas anymore. I guess the methods differ from country to country, but in my experience, it's never a good idea to share health issues with your co-workers or employer. Do with this advice what you will. | |

Second is that it's not his business to know (or to care). Third reason would be that your are basically sabotaging your position and giving them time to replace you. It's enough to inform them that you have a condition (you don't have to say which) and that might affect your productivity. Unless a physician declares you unfit to work, I wouldn't share health issues with my employer. | |
