HE'LL NO! DO NOT!

Do you have to tell them you have cancer? No
Do you have to tell them your diabetic? No

Unless you ask for reasonable accommodations, they do not have to know. It's PHI and under HIPPA. Just because the question is there, doesn't mean you have to answer it?

What does it say? Something like asking if you have an illness that prevents you from doing job? You have an illness but it doesn't affect your job.

I just got terminated from a job ( has never happened to me before) I was in a mental facility for 4 days. My boss knew where I was. I had to give her the excuse from work. It's written on letterhead from a well known mental facility. After that they started picking on my work, and saying I couldn't keep up and I was improving. I was considered a star at my last job so this was a major blow. Since I was still in my 6 month probationary period, they did all the Hr crap, writing me up for dumb stuff to cover their tracks. 5 months in they canned me. They really acted very fake by saying they would help me, give more training, blah blah. I filed a complaint with HR which I had an hour meeting last Monday. Supposedly they were going to have a meeting with my managers last week, I haven't heard a word yet. I still have not gotten any of my final paperwork or the complaints from the doctors about my work. I also requested twice from payroll my final Paystub which I have yet to receive. It's holding up my unemployment case.

I think I'm going to file a complaint with the EEOC. They can determine if I have a case against them. It's not about the money, it's about letting them know they can't do this type of crap. I would like to see them shake in their shoes, so they know how it feels to be on the brink of termination.
