I was diagnosed in late June of 2011. I foolishly alerted my boss to my diagnosis immediately, as I needed an excuse for what I felt was going to be a lengthy absence (2.5 weeks, when all was said and done).
Boss and superviser told me not to inform HR of my absence, nor my condition.
Anyways, since then, my workload has diminished greatly and what little work I do get, I wouldn't classify as anything more than "busy-work". Counts for nothing when semi-annual and the big annual review comes around. I must have looked absolutely worthless on my recent annual review; in comparision to colleagues'.
I fear that the end is near and by following instructions and not approaching HR, I may have left myself defenseless.
I want to approach my boss and insist that I receive more/quality work. But would this be wasting time? Should I go straight to HR, inform them of my condition and the way I am being treated?
Or are my fears not warannted and I'm just being paranoid?
P.S. I have requested forms for FMLA from HR, but never filled them out or turned them in.
