Are there any work accommodations or benefits that you have at your company that help you to be productive with your ADHD? For example, having your desk away from foot traffic? What about those who work from home? Trying to figure out what might be helpful accommodations for those of us who are neuro spicy.

I think I have depression. how the f to get out of it and get myself out of bed?

For all that may be interested in working at home.

Good Morning, Beautiful People!

I'm currently a Staffing Specialist, very early in my career (9months). My long term goal is to become a Generalist. I feel fairly confident in my role and after much advice from you all, was able to have a conversation with my boss about pushing my SHRM-CP test to next Spring.

My new question is, in your opinion, what facet of the industry should I put focus on next (i.e. pay/compensation, benefits analysis, employee and labor law, etc...)?

Wondering if anyone has experience and/or pointers for an initial roll out or "paper-less" open enrollment using the UKG Ready platform.

Company currently uses the platform for payroll and applicant tracking, but wondering what the admin and user experience is like for managing the annual benefits open enrollment process all through UKG Ready.

Thanks!

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get into project work or contract work? I’m hoping to leave public by January and need a break from corporate America for awhile. I want to stay remote and not be committed to 40 hours a week.

Anyone else ever think of leaving the law and going back to school to do something else? I’ve been thinking more and more about going back to become a therapist.

Best fertility clinic in London for egg freezing? Any recommendations highly appreciated!

Does anyone else struggle with remembering to eat lunch on busy days? I totally forget to feed myself and end up tired and cranky by the end of the day because of it.

Do your firm benefits cover physio?

Anyone take benazepril or other blood pressure medications?

Hi Fishes,

Is there anyone form Khoros?
I wanted to know about the company, people, culture, benefits and wlb.

Hi Fishes,
I am really looking for some serious advice to cope up with a cracked tailbone. I broke mine during a horse riding incident.

Now, I am getting seriously overweight, in fact, on the verge of getting obese, and this injury right now is pretty much killing the 2022 dream.

I do walk right now, oddly at a slow pace, for about 3-4 km each day. If there any kind of strength training I can introduce in my regimen to err not feel all so depressed with the way I am in for.

My SO has severe anxiety which has resulted in a dead bedroom for nearly 2 years. I love her and am being supportive as she works through stuff in therapy but at the same time I also feel very sexually deprived and rejected. Is it alright for me to seek physical satisfaction outside the relationship until we are able to restart our sex life?

Want to go home. Go back to China. Want to stay with my parents. Feeling so tired.

Anyone else feeling like they are past their prime and just don’t matter anymore? Like I could vanish and it may take weeks before anyone realized I was missing (and yes, I realize hormones are making this happen),

Recommendations for good reads during pregnancy please?

Genuinely curious, how much cash do you have in your savings account right now? Not stocks , 401k, CDs, etc etc.. just straight up cash..

Can anyone recommend a powerlifting program? Goal is to up leg strength and maintain/aesthetic upper (don’t care for benching for max). Thanks!

When should we anticipate YE sell-off for tax adjustments?

Please help. Any lead is fine. The company I had an offer in isn't replying at all, and I don't wanna stay in current toxic team(manager said I won't get release from project).

I have sponsorship from my consulting firm (tuition, requires 3 year commitment, definitely does not pay like MBB/T2). I got a 60k scholarship from Kellogg, should I just consider making a move to MBB/T2?

I’ve been looking at getting Louboutin sneakers recently. I think this is a bit stupid but I guess these purchases are not rational. My question is - do these things last? I don’t want to pay $700 for shoes that will fall apart after 6 months.

Could some please review black box company? The work culture and wlb?

@blackbox

I was recently (in April) fired from a good nursing position that I was at for 5 years. I reached out to my old ADON to get some information on where we had our vaccinations from and she told me that I should come back and the administrator that I had issues with is gone. Is this something I should even consider? I miss my patients and some of my coworkers and the pay is better, but I don't feel like I would really be welcome to come back.

How is AirBnB ethical when its business model exists through legal arbitrage? It has functionally created rental property service without being subject to the same taxes and liability insurance of a regular hotel company due to the dubious claim of “It’s on the web.”

What does it take for a big consulting company to approve an intracompany transfer for an employee to the Canada office?

My company is adopting Scrum and hiring a bunch of agile coaches to assist with sprints. We got assigned our agile coach that'll be starting soon.

I read a description of what this role is supposed to be for and it sounds like they'll be leading Scrum ceremonies. So they run the planning meeting, the retrospective and daily stand ups. Up to now, I've been doing those and it's taken a total of like 2 hours a week of my time.

What on earth do agile coaches do with the other 95% of their time?

Anyone at lyft? I’m curious what being a creative looks like there.

Any KPMGers in this bowl? ... Bueller? ... Bueller?

Stress is causing a massive flare-up of racing thoughts recently. I feel like it's been at least a week or two since I last was able to completely clear my mind. And if it's not random stream-of-consciousness mess, it's music. Ever had a song stuck in your head? Because I've had one for four days now. Driving me nuts. Anyone else struggle with this/have a solution?

Anyone feel stimulants make you talk more? And like overfocus on a meeting that you’ve been speaking about a 5min topic for 20m then you have 10m to discuss 25m of stuff?

Anyone had luck finding a good therapist who actually understands ADHD? Getting advice like "try taking a walk every day" and "practice these breathing exercises" is driving me crazy. I need actual solutions and shit, not just platitudes and internet worksheets.

I’m curious how ADHD professionals prepare for job interviews. Some interviews I’m really nailing it and other interviews I can’t find the right words to communicate properly.

Welcome to the community! We're just getting started so let's set a great tone from the get go.

So are we considered part of the neurodivergent community?

I’ve taken Adderall for several years & it has helped a lot for my ADHD. However, recently I have been increasingly overwhelmed with balancing work, school, & home life. I am really struggling to manage my symptoms even while taking the maximum ER dosage. I recently started taking Strattera as well, but haven’t noticed much improvement. My doctor has suggested switching to Vyvanse instead. What are your thoughts on Vyvanse vs Adderall? Has anyone has had more success with it?

Looking at entering consulting/strategic management…any tips?

Currently at Bain, and while I feeling so lucky to be here and enjoying it. I feel lost. I don’t know what’s next for me. No other company seems interesting to me and I feel kinda complaisant.

Also feeling a FOMO is taking over my head. That my other colleagues/classmates are doing much better :(

Sorry to sound silly 😢

Do you just have adhd, or adhd + another diagnosis? Wondering if most of us are neurodivergent in more ways than one

Looking for advice/input:

I’ve dealt with ADHD my entire life, although was just diagnosed last year. Throughout my career (assurance>industry>consulting), I’ve been able to “outwork” everyone else in the office to counter the lack of focus and other associated faux pas associated with the disorder. Recently have hot a point where I can’t put in the hours (3 yo/fam), and my work has taken a major hit. Anyone in consulting/assurance have any methods for managing this when it comes to PM duties?

I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 12. My family did not opt to put me on medication. I illegally discovered Adderall in college. Worked incredible. Got diagnosed after college & after having been fired from my first job. Passed the CPA exams on Adderall. Went off of it again. I do everything well at my job except for attention to detail within my excel files & emails. Will taking ADHD medication really fix this? Does anyone else have this issue and was it resolved by taking medication?

Does anyone know a good psychiatrist in NJ ?

Dubai/UAE ADHDers. Can you take stimulants into the country for like a one month project there?

Just discovering RSD after being diagnosed as an adult. I feel like SO MUCH of my life has been impacted by this and I just never had a name for it. At work if someone gives me negative or constructive feedback it can feel like a punch in the chest even if I know it's not personal. Makes romantic relationships so hard too. What do you do to handle it especially at work?
