6 months into the job and I’m about to have a hellish month to meet quarter end deliverables. Simultaneously, will be secretly undergoing a gruesome medical treatment for recently diagnosed autoimmune disorder. Not sure how this will impact my productivity- so far- 2 days into this- just bouts of queasiness and extreme fatigue. Should I be telling employer about this? Will this ruin my career?

Definitely let your manager know so they can re-allocate work if needed. It’d be a burn to both of you without communicating this ahead of time. Good luck on the medical treatment

Fear of it being used against me and shame. Still very sensitive about the whole diagnosis to begin with

Why wouldn’t you tel your manager? Life happens to us all. It may not change your job expectations but at least they’ll understand if you struggle to meet them or have to take some sick days. I’m getting divorced and told my manager and her manager about it just as a heads up if I seem flaky or come in late this month. I was shocked how supportive they both were tbh.

I just went through this. I have a lot of opinions - pros & cons about this. At then end of the day though, once you step away to focus on your health, you end up not caring about anything else. It absolutely affected my career though.

That’s one of my biggest fears- I don’t want to treated less than. Or given kid gloves. I know I could work 12 hours/day and do anything with the right mindset and a coffee! But the physical surely affects the mental. And when I can’t even walk right or keep my head up or even eat anything, I know this will impact my work. I know I’ll eventually burn out.

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!
