Do not disclose personal or medical issues to coworkers or managers—those conversations rarely lead to meaningful support and create unnecessary vulnerability.
I have been in managerial roles; I’ve seen more retaliation and mishandled situations than most people realize. This workplace has had more issues than any company I’ve previously worked for.HR is the most heartless part of this robot city. Do not go to them. If you’re dealing with medical leave, accommodations, or any health‑related matter, remember that HIPAA and privacy laws apply. If your information has been shared without your consent—whether by colleagues, HR, or health center—that can be a serious violation. Consult with an employment attorney. With proper documentation, many people discover they have a stronger case than they expected, and HR departments strongly prefer to avoid legal exposure.

So....
My site has exxon nurses that you have to go through.
Despite going to my family doctor, I still have to report everything I've done and taken to this exxon nurse.
It feels illegal....
If my doctor says I cant work, I dont need exxons opinion too!
People need to stop bringing their personal lives into work period.
The only thing anyone should be talking about at work is the job. I don’t want to hear about your spouse/kids/health problems. It’s called professionalism. Try it sometime.
If you’re bothered by this then congratulations; you’re part of the problem.
