Has anyone addressed their ADHD with their boss directly? For example, I have a really hard time with long meetings. I can’t sit still and pay attention and I wonder if sharing this with my boss would be helpful or if it would raise red flags. Funny enough, my job is very detail oriented.

I take meds, but they only do so much.

I think it would raise red flags, unless you were especially chummy with them.

Perhaps not directly relevant, but I have a difficult family background. Never known my dad, my mom had serious drug/mental health issues. Grew up with grandparents and aunt & uncle. Somehow I miraculously did well in school and ended up in big law. For Christmas I plan on faking quarantine to explain why I’ll be alone, though I want to be more upfront with colleagues, friends and potential partners, but I’m afraid my story will appear off-putting to them. Or will it reflect positively on me?

Almost 4 years ago I was hired to do payroll for 1099-NEC independent contractors (1 of 2 people for my location) . Since then, I've learned a lot about the industry/business & terminal operations. In my "education", I've also taken on many tasks/projects outside the scope of the original duties. Trying to think of an appropriate title that I can suggest to my boss during my raise discussion. Here are just some of the things in addition to payroll that I do: (continued in comments)

It’s been a week since we talked. Is it okay to reach out and ask for any updates?

I’m curious what other people with ADHD do to get in the zone/right mental space for a workday?
