About Bob's situation---it turned out that proving his case to the EEOC was really hard, so I would caution anyone who thinks they are easily protected. It isn't that easy.
I think this is a tough question, one that we have had here before. Each individual situation is different.
In my current job, I was SUCH a mess last year, I ended up telling a few of my coworkers and supervisors. That was was I needed to do.
However, in a previous job, only the coworkers I was close to knew, and I am so glad others did not, because my termination there was anything but amicable and it could have been used against me in very "unofficial" ways (ie, ways that wouldn't lead to discrimination charges).
I think you will hear people here weighing in on both sides of this question.
