I had a great new Manager who needed a LOA for similar reasons. At PwC it wasn't an issue with the consulting teams, since it was all run through the Leave Center. He shared it with me since I'm a mentor to him, but that wasn't an obligation.

There were just a few people, mostly his mentors, who were aware of the LOA and reasons. I've had people request LOA to explore a new ventures, get healthy, any number of reasons.

I am working hard to stop the progression of disease and potentially reverse it. Hope things work out.
