Anyone ever do something that feels caused irreversible damage to a relationship as a result of a careless mistake? I’m so mad at myself. The guys reaction is overblown but I still can’t help but blame my ADHD. What did you do??

Need more detail

I sent something to senior leadership that my manager said they were going to send and didn’t check it with the manager. I’ve been accused of doing it intentionally but it was a total careless mistake.

If he lets bygones be bygones, no. If he is still displaying anger next week, yes, tell him sweetly that what you did wasn’t intentional and you take full ownership over making sure you run things by him, but at the end of the day, it wasn’t intentional and you went back and checked with associates in your network, things like this happen. Could he please assume good intent, coz that’s the basis of our work at the firm.

No need to call it “feedback” to your manager (you don’t want him thinking you’re being hoity-toity, he would deserve it but he sounds sensitive). Once your manager and you have had this conversation, if this ever continues/comes up, you can let your ED know that you did give him feedback to assume good intent but he’s become too insecure / whatever he does in the future

Things will get better - sometimes, the best thing to do is to give time.

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs? I’m hoping to find something that’s easy to assemble and break down for when I need to move, and something that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

Hi friends! I’m an ex-art director that recently stepped away after 5 years to try to pivot into production.

I have not been diagnosed with ADHD. I definitely fit some of the characteristics that go unnoticed in females. The good news is if i do have ADHD, it makes me quite good at my job as I’m very flexible and can provide positive energy to my patients. Anyway, my boss has told me I have ADHD multiple times. It seems rude when she says it, and she follows it up with “I say that because I love you” which i feel is so unprofessional all around. Anyone have guidance on how to handle this?

I just realised it now. My doctor has suggested treating depression (I was also unaware of this) with Wellbutrin first (contd)

We’ve had org issues - no clear role descriptions or expectations. Yes I do have a hard time staying engaged (and I’m medicated - Vyvance in the am, dextroamphetamine at noon). Thoughts?
