Now before I get into the discussion I want to already mention that I have a disability in my lower back from a car accident that has me already worried my manager thinks less of me. But I’m on disability now, coming back in a little over a month, and I’d like to talk to my manager and tell her I was diagnosed with bipolar one and that a regular schedule is best for me to keep a routine. Idk I’m worried, I always hear horror stories about finding reasons to fire people but I like to think at starbucks they prioritize mental health no? Do you think it’s safe to tell her my condition and look for support and understanding and that she keep it confidential? I’m a shift supervisor so I know that sometimes I’ll have to clopen or work strange hours and I’m not asking to be given freedom from that. I’m just asking if you think it’s wise to keep it to myself or tell my manager and be completely open and honest with her? I was wondering if anyone here had similar examples?
