Do you know anything about treatment once you have a job?
One of my friends was hired for a new position at work. It's taken him a long time to learn it, because he has (very mild) cerebral palsy and (very mild, I know it's hard to believe) hydrocephalus. The symptoms have never really affected him before, but he's noticed them in the past 6 weeks.
At work, when his boss criticized him for taken so long to learn the new position (he probably needed 6 weeks instead of a month), he admitted to having a disability. The boss wants to know the exact disability, but of course he's not going to say what it is. He's just going to say how it's impacting him at this time, and that he's visiting a dr. about it. (Which he is.)
He also emailed the HR person about a vicious statement his boss made, and asked to be scheduled for a different time than his boss is in the office.
Is this the right thing to do? He's worried about losing the job.bookie
