Hello, all.

I am 31 years old and I have been working as a graphic designer with one company for 6 years. I recently had my annual employee review and was put on a 45 day probation for, among other things, not displaying "normal social interaction" (ie I "don't say hello enough").

I am not rude nor impolite, I'm just not much of a morning person so my mood isn't very high at the start of the day. Frankly, I see nothing wrong in my behavior. I'm not sure who is in the wrong, me or my bosses.

I need some advice on how to handle this. I feel like my employer is holding me accountable to an un-measurable, unfair, and arbitrary standard. I suffer from bipolar disorder and I am not sure how much that has to do with the lack of "normal social interaction". I'd rather not disclose my mental illness but I am not sure how to communicate they are holding me to something I cannot attain any more than I already have.

Should I bring this up with my psychiatrist? Should I contact the Labor Board?
