皆さんは自分の抱えている癌や病気のことを仕事の仲間にお話されますか？
先日、「癌患者であることは仕事の仲間には言わない方がいい。仕事が来なくなるから」とアドバイスをいただきました。そっか、と私。あんまり今まで考えたことがなかったですが、確かにフリーの身としては、来年もお仕事が続けられるかどうかはクライアントにとっては重要だもんね。
皆さんはどうですか？小林麻央ちゃんのように、公表しますか？隠す？ぜひご意見聞かせてください。下のコメント欄またはnetandsinglemother@gmail.comにお願いします。
Do you talk about your cancer to your friends and co-workers? Does revealing the fact that you are a cancer patient affect your relationship with people? How about work? Does the company have different expectation when you have cancer? Is it a good thing or bad thing?
A friend of mine here in Japan pointed out to me that I should not reveal that I have cancer, as I will probably have less projects coming your way, once the company found that I am dealing with cancer. This may be a lot to do with the fact that I am working as a freelance. Is that your experience? Do you always have to hide about your physical conditions so you can carry on working? I just wondered what everyone's experience is like.
Would love to hear your thoughts please! Comment below or write me at netandsinglemother@gmail.com. Thank you!
