Why tell him now...he'll eventually find out when your truck rams through the front of the office building on your way to work after an all-night bender.

At my previous job we had a few people get DUIs while I was there. One girl was leaving the company Christmas party. A few others were managers etc. Nothing ever became of it.

No. Just wait till he finds out to prolong getting fired. But start job hunt

No. Not a big deal. But you should definitely notify him of that sex offense.

Wouldn't a new employer be more likely to find out about it while doing a background check then your current employer who wouldn't have a reason to check for awhile (or ever if you don't drive for them)?

Tell your boss but then immediately tell him you're gay. He can't fire you at that point.

After that, tell him you're "checking into rehab". Free 60 day vacation.

Upon your return, notify him that you're suing for the stressful work environment and for not noticing that you were an alcoholic and getting you treatment before it was too late.

My company requires that I self report any moving violation to them. The rule is mainly in place for the guys who are required to have their CDL, though.

No just play it off as a lifestyle change. I've decided to walk or ride my bike to work or check out my new sweet moped.

I don't know why you would.

If they don't care, they don't care.

If they do care, you get fired.

If they require you to report and you do, you get fired.

If they require you to report and you don't and they find out, you get fired.

Not sure what the upside of reporting is.

Don't lie and don't go out of your way to keep it a secret, whether you disclose is really up to you. But keep in mind between court dates, community service, the newspaper, etc... there's a really good chance it's going to leak.

If you don't drive for work and are not in a high profile position odds are you'll make it through fine. Where you screwed yourself is applying for new jobs where for the next 5-10 years you might not be worth the risk.
