Re: When the Boss Finds Out
I would like to know if any one else has experienced something like I did upon diagnosis. I told my board of directors ( I am the Director of a small non-profit corp.) that I have PD and will be taking meds and seeing a specialist from now on. Not long after that I heard one of them tell the other one, "Well, I guess we won't have Marling for very long. We will have to consider replacing her." I did NOT tell them I was quitting or retiring or any such thing. Why did/do they think that just because I have PD or any other disorder that I am forced to 'retire' or quite my work? Yes my job is stressful, and I love it. Not the stress, the job. I have no intention of ever quiting. I know that someday the PD will force me to do much less, but I want to do as much for as long as I can. Marling McReynolds shcrc@xxxxxxxxxxxx
