disclose or not disclose
I am need of advice as im not sure what to do next.
Here is a little background about me 9 months ago i experienced depression, breakdown, burnout which led to suicide attempt. During this time i was terminated from my job due to behaviour aspects that breached my contract. i disclosed what happened (depression, suicide attempt, treatment) to the senior management where i was working and they are attempting to find a different role for me.
The problem that i have is that my manager will not reference me as all they were told was that i was terminated for breaching contract. The senior management have clearly stated that all aspects of my termination are confidential and i should not tell anyone. if i disclose anything then i am breaching confidentiality and putting future empoyment at risk but allowing my previous manager to know the full story. If i don't disclose then i risk not be able to get a reference.
My employee record would show a excellent record for over ten years then issues over a two week period then a termination.
Im not sure what to do next live with the stigma of a unknown termination allowing rumor and spectualation to surround me or say what happened.
Thanks
