The lady interviewed confided in a coworker that she believed to be a friend about her depression. Two days later, out of the clear blue, her supervisor asked her how she was handling the stress of her job. This topic had NEVER come up before.
If I remember correctly, she was terminated a week later.
These were long-time mid-career successful people. If I'm not mistaken, the ad-exec was in California.
We are in the dark ages of this issue,IMO and I for one could not afford to fight a company of any size on this issue.
NPR mentioned a few major corporations that really were helping people with mental disorders in various ways but they are few and far between.Beware
