I have now learned to never disclose medical info to my bosses but am seriously heartbroken at the lack of humanity. I understand I don’t have disability accommodations for this and may not have the closest room, but to say now that I have to have the farthest? Just seems cruel. Any advice?

Also- my boss and coworkers all usually are chummy so now it will seem weird that I am going to stop. But I don’t feel like I can say anything without someone trying to use it against me.
