Every time I have disclosed I have had my hours significantly reduced and been scrutinized in every single thing I do. Other times people have treated me like I’m absolutely making things up. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Now I stay silent. I need a full time job, medical expenses never end for me- but if ai am honest no one gives me full time hours. So frustrating. I have walked away from suing business owners for discrimination because at the end of the day my name will get tarnished in my field, not theirs.
Thank you for writing about this. I have tried so many times it always felt like I was complaining and I didn't want it to come off like that so I never did. SO thank you.
You did it again Taylor! You tapped into another important issue: discrimination in the work world for those with medical issues and disabilities. Thanks for exposing and expressing this problem, and presenting it so well.
Certainly trying! Definitely recommend reading the linked Harvard Business Review article- it’s a smart assessment on whether to disclose or not. But im sad it’s such a rampant issue wrapped in shame and discrimination.

It’s so incredibly hard. Thank you for sharing. It’s a true culture of shame and discrimination- and it’s deeply unfair.
