Never disclose anything which would give your employer ammunition to build a case against you. This is the unfortunate sad reality. From a HR risk perspective, what would the blast radius be if the employee was experiencing a manic episode? If given access to a company credit card, would they rack up loads of debt? Could they negatively impact the company's public image on social media? Could their grandiose state of mind rub colleagues the wrong way and potentially damage inter-team working relationships? "Meta employee caught racking up large bar tab at Vegas strip club" is a genuine threat. Then on the opposite side of the coin, what if that employee is experiencing a depressive episode? How would their team mates cope if that person's productivity absolutely tanked? How could their manager "defend" their actions without breaking confidentiality? How long would the company keeping paying a salary in the _hope_ they return to the "zero" state (neither manic nor depressive episode)? What would the impact be during a depressive episode if you get fired? The downward spiral would accelerate, and unfortunately for some people, it's terminal. Companies love to send HR on mental health training days to get a rubber stamp (and broadcast it as marketing material), but the truth is, they know absolutely nothing about the real impact of it. There are numerous reasons why I'm a contractor and not a regular employee - first and foremost to protect myself. If anyone wants to chat my email should be in the profile.
