I finally requested medical leave to take care of some mental health issues because I was frequently calling out of work (since last fall) and started to fail at work (boss had to take over my projects).
My boss was very supportive at the 1 on 1 to discuss my taking leave, telling me it’s a good idea to focus on treatment and asking if I was eating and sleeping okay etc.
I was stupid and mentioned some details about my treatment: the medications I’d been taking for a while (not the exact name but the usage of the drugs), and that I wasn’t sure about the treatment plan my doctor had me on now (especially about if taking leave would make things worse because isolation etc.) and wanted to get a second opinion.
Fast forward I got a second opinion and doctors like duh you need to focus on treatment take a break asap.
So I contact my boss and they hit me with this. They want a weekly report including:
・doctors appointments
・treatment plan details
・medication details
・”outings that differ from your normal routine”
・”changes in your emotional state”
さすがに this is too much right? Certainly this is illegal somehow??? やばい
I really want to believe my boss is requesting this out of care and because I gave the impression I was comfortable being open about treatment details.
I’m usually a really honest and open person and like to trust people (probably shouldn’t be working in corporate lol) but legit felt like I was having a stroke reading that email.
(Also this person used to be HR and very good at it….)
They have been really supportive so I want to say okay but surely this information could be used against me right??? How do I deflect???????
P.S.
・English is rusty please forgive me for the awful writing
・I’m aware I’m spoiled by my company no need to tell me (you can if you wish)
