counterpoint: CDs with kids they dislike can be just as bad!

I had a CD that flat out said he loved going to the office to avoid his wife and kids and he was awful and a gcd that had no kids and advertising was her dream job can confirm both are terrible people to work for

I worked in television for a stretch, and it was widely discussed that if you staffed on shows with showrunners who had no kids, you were going to to be working late nights and weekends, but that if you staffed on ones with parents who actually liked their kids, you’d be out the door hours sooner.

Plenty of CDs with kids stay at work longer to avoid going home. I’ve worked under CDs with and without kids, and the common factor to them being work zealots is just a lack of life outside of work. And families are work too if you don’t know how or can’t balance it with things you enjoy doing.

I always make it a point to work for people who clearly like their families. Otherwise it can be awful.

Maybe you should find a new career

What types of work accommodations can help people with ADHD? I am starting to believe 35+ of having not managed my ADHD has really negatively impacted me in career growth etc. I'm realizing a lot of things about myself are because of the ADHD. I want better for myself and family but 1. I don't enjoy the same things forever 2. Imposter syndrome and RSD make me believe it's acceptable to start over in new places at low salaries. 3. Typical college won't work for me. 4. I also can't relocate.
