Reasonable Adjustment shared with Colleagues

[Windywuss]

I'm a lecturer and new manager wants to be transparent about our workload allocation and share this information with colleagues, so we all know what workload has been given for various roles and how many modules we are each teaching.

My issue is that they reduced my teaching workload on occupational health advice and I don't think it's right they share this. It should be up to me surely if I disclose to colleagues openly that I have a disability. I don't want to be justify in myself to people I don't know or my team resenting me becoming they don't understand.

Does this sound wrong to you? Should I check with HR? (Who are not great tbh)

I have a hidden disability and it is totally shit and exhausting having to fight for any support you are entitled to.
I'm not able to work at all so don't have to face that side of things. However, a balanced approach is probably best (within all data protection rules etc). Whilst I understand you don't want everyone knowing you personal business, if they know you have a disability, and adjustments need to be made, you may receive support, understanding and compassion. It's hard, because with an obvious disability, you can't choose to hide it at all.
It maybe in time you feel differently about your situation and can help educate others around you by default.....

The people who need to know do know and I am ok sharing this with my immediate team but I do have daily bits of well meaning but somehow at toxic positivity to deal with. They see me pop out at lunchtime and think I'm doing well. What they don't know is I've had to go get a prescription and the result of that popping out is my heart rate spiking for the rest of the day and I then an increase in symptoms the day after.

I don't always want to spend energy explaining myself but that's the reality. Constantly having to educate people if you stand up for yourself.

Anyway it's been resolved I hope for now.

I also read it as very aggressive - maybe that comes from your certainty that OP has unreasonable expectations here.

OP is not required to come up with solutions for her manager , and he is not at all within his rights to issue an excel with this kind of personal information on it - it’s a major irretrievable information breach. You can’t put information back in once it’s out, whatever the sensitive personal nature of it. There’s a huge amount of entitlement sometimes around these disability issues - people don’t have a right to know anything at all. They have a right not to be negatively impacted, which in this case, they’re not.
