Based on something I had thought about, but mostly due being brought up by Kate in her situation, I want to know about what you think your responsibility is to a (potential) employer.
When applying or interviewing for a job, is this the time when you should be letting your employer know about your condition? Does it make a difference whether your condition is doing a bit better or worst as to if you tell your employer before employment?
Personally, I think that it is best to tell the employer, but that it is okay to wait until after being hired (if your current condition is quite good). This is because I believe that your coniditon will be taken as a disadvantage against you, and if there is no reason for that perceived disadvantage to exist, then it can be avoided. After being hired though, I think that letting the employer know about your condition, what could possibly happen in the future, and your belief that things will not change (assuming that is what you believe) with your condition now in the near-future is the right thing to do. This is because it ensures that the employer is aware of what can happen, and protects you a bit if a flair up occurs suddenly, as you will not be giving your employer a surprise when you do not show up to work.
So what do you all think of this? Is it ethical to hold back until you are hired?
