I saw that footage tonight of a woman collapsing in a hospital waiting room somewhere in the US and the other waiting people, security guards etc, ignoring her prostrate on the ground. She died after they eventually bothered to check on her - too late, according to the report. It was just horrible, it shows you can be in the wrong place at wrong time, and the unthinkable can happen.

It made me think of this issue and thread. Always, keep what you need on you, and I would be concerned that finding ways to hide it/make it look like something else is asking for trouble (eg, to be taken as something else, to be thrown out, to be too hard to arrange sometimes, etc).

Follow the great bits of advice advice in this thread to clear this problem up in your workplace, its unethical and illegal and most importantly, dangerous to your life. The higher management should see sense, if no luck, get another job, it's too serious to just go along "being the victim". It's not just inconvenient, it's deadly.
