Telling your Boss

General Discussion
#1

Need some advice. I will be heading back to work in a few weeks after a long hiatus, and no one there knows what I’ve been through. They think I’ve been living in China - which I did for a year and a half - but I spent the last 6 months at home trying to get my head on straight.

A couple of things about my job:

  1. I have a lot of job security. It would be nearly impossible for me to lose my job.
  2. I don’t think my performance is affected that much by the PFS

My boss is a father like figure to me - and I know he cares about me. I was just planning on telling him and no one else. What have others done? Do you keep PFS a secret? Let the boss know? Please advise…

i think that if you truly feel that you have a special relationship with your boss and you are comfortable sharing your finasteride problems with him, then you should do it. only you know how truly “close” you are with him, but if you feel this will benefit you and not cause any issues, you should definately go for it. just my opinion.

yeah but do remember to be express that it won’t affect your work etc.

I don’t think it is a good idea to tell him at this moment. If i were you i’d wait a few months, since you’ve been away for long. This way he will see your ability to do your work is the same before he knows anything.

That is really good advice! Thanks…I think if he knows what I’ve been through he might start looking for things that are different. If I wait awhile - and he sees that I am essentially the same guy - then I should tell him. Thank you!
