i worked in a small store. everyone knew my problems as a result. they were careful around me and i got the feeling they saw me as an "untouchable" they were more lenient b/c they knew, but i think that in general, informing your boss of your problems is a very tricky situation. in a large company i would think that they would be less understanding, although it definately varies from place to place. you really have to feel your way in this situation. what is your gut feeling about what their reaction would be? if you have absolutely no clue, i would not say anything. it also depends on what is going to happen if you can't make it to work or are late all the time. if you think you are going to lose your job or be demoted as a result, go ahead and say something. weigh out the possible outcomes, carefully. wish i could be of more help. good luck!
