Any advice for asking to work from home?
I started my job just over a month ago and the one day a week I work from home I absolutely love. I have an hour commute to the office all other days and I'd love to even just get one more day at home. My manager is not aware of my adhd and I have crippling fear and shame around it so I'd rather not tell him. The office environment I'm in is honestly any neuroduvergent's nightmare. I know it's probably wrong to not tell him but I don't want any judgement.

I started drinking the moment I joined MBB. Had my first sip at the age of 28. My whole college life, I had all my friend drinking but always abstained. Now after my first year at MBB, I started drinking out of fun. Got my first hangover last month and stopped praying. I feel I am getting dragged out of my religion slowly. You’ll be surprised that I know the half of the Quran by heart since I was a kid of 17 yld. The only thing left in me is that I sincerely love my Muslim fellows 😓

I’m in a new job in a team where I don’t feel like I belong. It’s been 6 months and I still feel new to the job. I was recently told that I’m “slow” and “behind the curve” by my manager. The thing however is, I expressed my concerns about not getting enough guidance or work about 2 months ago and they said I need to be patient. I’m worried I’m going to lose my job.
