[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So your manager:
1.  would think it is OK for a pregnant woman not to be in a role b/c she is on critical path and will go out on maternity sometime?
2.  does not staff people on cholesteral medicine? or heart medicine?
3.  People who fly small aircraft or motorcycles b/c they are high risk choices?

It is not allowed.  Sit down with HR and the program manager and get an understanding why they will not staff you.[/quote]

There are risks everyday with human life.  You never who is going to walk outside the door and get hit by a bus.  Life just happens.  You can't be prepared for every instance that someone might die.

1.  by around month 7, most women have started a transition process.  Everyone knows that she will be leaving around a certain window, only the specific date is uncertain.
2.  by taking the medicine, the employee is acknowledging there is an issue and working to handle it.  the employee might have a heart attack and not show up for work but that would fall under the life happens category.  Cancer treatments are frequent and require downtime to recover.
3. this falls under the life happens category.  but there are some jobs where high risk lifestyle choices are not allowed.  what if the president loved to race motorcycles---that probably wouldn't go over well if there was a chance he might accidentally kill himself.[/quote]
