> > I am a Federal manager that deals with hiring employees at times. Believe me, you HAVE to be honest and upfront with them. If you lie, they can fire you later for lying. If you don't mention the conditions, you will fail drug screening, and they won't hire you.
James here....
You are violating federal law and privacy law here. If one wants ADA accomidations, then one must tell them about disibility. Unless the job has very special conditons, like airline pilots,
you have the right to take meds without telling work what condition is being treated. Doctor/Patient confidentially means you do not have to tell. Work does not have to right to violate your privacy.james
