I had told my direct supervisor and had no problem. If anything, this is so large a company that it actually might have helped *save* my job.
Right at the time I was to change groups I ended up in the hospital. There wasn't any keeping it secret then, but only those higher than me and HR knew. I took about 4 months medical leave and still think I came back too soon. A couple more months might have been better.
Where I am, it was short term disability, so I was paid in full.
Family and friends - it's your call, but sometimes they surprise you with support. You could start with one and see how it feels. Outside support can be so valuable.
