My boss tried to offer me money for my prescription.
I (23F) have those 1 narcolepsy and am prescribed modafonil to keep me awake during the day. Everyone including my boss is aware. It’s highly regulated and took many years of back and forth to get the meds due to its medical risk.
Modafonil is a popular ‘smart drug’ sought after to stimulate excessive concentration for those who don’t have a condition.
Late on Friday night (drunk) my manager text me asking if I could “help out a friend” by letting him purchase some of them off of me. Saying he needed to write a long essay. I obviously said no.
It was a message sent to me on WhatsApp rather than our normal regulated conversations on teams.
It made me extremely uncomfortable and angry.
My question is whether this is a serious issue or whether it would get swept under the rug by HR.
My frustration towards him is clouding my judgement but what he’s asking me to do is illegal and messaging outside of working hours is also extremely unprofessional.
Do I bother contacting HR or will it just be dismissed.
