Re: PA and a new job

You are not obligated to reveal anything to your new employer unless they need

to make special work arrangements as far as access to the building or special

equipment. I wouldn't say anything and just keep it to yourself until the need

arrises.

You should tell them absolutely nothing; it is none of their business. It is

illegal for them to ask (as is asking about your marital status or religion)

and unwise for you to offer.

I agree. Tell them absolutely nothing. Unless you are in

need of special accommodation you have no need to mention it.

I agree with the advice to say nothing. I worked at a small company in

which we all pretended to be friends. The company was involved in the

analysis of the health care industry, so everyone knew about PA. When

I was diagnosed, I had just experienced a 48 hour period during which

I was mostly asleep and too ill to even call the office to say I was

home in bed. They were all my " friends " , but when they found out my

disappearance for 2 days was caused by PA, they changed. A couple of

colleagues told me to quit, as I obviously wouldn't be able to handle

the job. My boss (in an effort, I am guessing, to make me quit)

started sending me on protracted, difficult and frequent business

trips from coast to coast and to Europe. It was hell. And a year

later, I was fired for not doing my job properly. The only good note

was I got a decent severance package - an older woman with a

disability replaced with younger male could lead to law suits. The

ultimate irony is that my boss's wife also had an autoimmune disease

and helped my find a rheumatologist. So don't tell!
