Great link Phil. This is such a big problem for many people I think. For me, it's not just about being worried that I would be fired, it's about privacy, and not having to go in and say "Sorry I missed work last week, I OD'd and almost died. I'm fine now."
I did lose one of my part time jobs last year for having too many absences related to mental illness. As usual, I kept closed about the details of my health problems to maintain my privacy, and was let go. I wonder, if my absences were from a "real" illness, would I still work there?
