Ask HN: How to deal with burn out whilst in probationary period?
&gt; I’m not sure if to tell my boss, tell the company<p>Let&#x27;s be honest here. You know the right thing to do is to tell your boss &#x2F; company.<p>As someone who has sat on the employer side of the table, I can tell you that there&#x27;s nothing that pisses off an employer more than an employee that tries to hide things, and then, by the time it becomes known, its too late.  Its always better to be proactive and resolve a problem before it becomes a PROBLEM.<p>Speaking frankly for a moment, do you honestly think your employer will be happy if you say nothing during your probation period and then you start claiming sick leave and vacation days on Day One ?<p>Honestly, the best thing is to be grown-up about it and talk to your employer.  Your employer will appreciate it. You will feel less stressed out about it.  Win-Win.
