No, not for me in my place of work. In fact, the older I've become, the more well respected I've become by my employer. If I've ever had to take time off work for medical reasons, I've never been questioned about it or asked to make the time up that I've lost. Maybe it's because I got more irascible as I've grown older and they're to scared to!
Many women learned to hide their symptoms in case they were finished up at work. This was back in the 90's. I would imagine that this day and age with jobs being thin on the ground that the same should be practised, difficult as it is. In other words just crack on as though nothing's happening. Where ignorance is bliss and all that.
One of the women at my work - who I'm fairly friendly with, though not very close to - is by the looks of things suffering a fair bit with menopausal symptoms. I am too but my own symptoms are not as severe. A few weeks ago I overheard one of our department heads making some throwaway comment about her 'time of life' and how she's been scatty amongst other things. What worries me is that it's a difficult time at work and there is talk of redundancies. I've heard too many horror stories about middle-aged women having this held against them and now I can't sleep with worry.
