I was diagnosed with the flu and reported this to my supervisor. On the same day, an email was sent to all agency employees naming me and disclosing my diagnosis. It specifically said "Starla (my last name) was diagnosed with Swine Flu." It went on to suggest that all employees stay home from work if they are sick, etc. It was humiliating and I felt it violated my privacy. I completely understand informing people that a co-worker had a contagious illness but it was completely unethical - in my opinion - to "call me out" in a blatant and hurtful way. I felt attacked, as if I were being accused of some terrorist act (bringing this illness into their environment). My 2 children and I are all very sick and instead of being supported, I am being attacked. Do I have any recourse to complain about this email? What should I do? Thanks for any advice.

I would contact an Attorney - this is totally out of line. I am just not sure you were harmed and that is for an Attorney to determine.

Were you actually diagnosed with the swine flu and did you tell HR (or your Supervisor) the diagnosis?
