How do I say to my boss "I constantly drift off in meetings and when you're talking so could you please be more engaging or send this in an email?" without losing my job? Sometimes I'm in a meeting and when I leave I genuinely couldn't tell you what was discussed. Is there a scientific explanation for the brain fog I get with ADHD? Because it sucks.

state and local taxes consultant or accounting advisory consultant? Which one would you pick after 2 year at a big 4 in terms of future comp, WLB, career advancement, and exit opps?

Anyone else doing sober January? I’m loving all the extra time I get from not going out as much. Been working out, reading, chatting with friends and family on the phone

So I just had 2 tables fight in a restaurant. Table A coughed and table B said oh covid and laughed. Happens that table A is Asian and table B is white.
Table A assumed the joke is because they are Asian and table B says no, everyone got covid not just Asians it’s just a bad joke; who is right?
Table A escalated to a fight and had to be both separated and asked to leave. Who is right?

According to you which one is better:

1. Look for 10 offers from service based company where no assurance for WLB with same hike/offer
2. Look for that 1 offer from good product based organization with same hike/offer where WLB is good.

Based on the recent Supreme Court update is it illegal for a company to mandate getting a booster? Does your company require getting a booster?

Is there any news or info about American hospitals preparing for the worst case scenario? Our ERs suck.

Would you travel to San Fran right now? (Non essential) I am not concerned about contracting coronavirus but the ethicality is weighing on me.

Is it good to hpe seeing current layoffs. Is there good work life balance? Job security?

Anyone recently had delivery in Noida?
Can u recommend budget hospital?

What's your best advice for winter driving in this area? I'm a recent transplant and nervous about getting on the road in the coming months!

Introverts like myself are really grateful for work from home jobs. We really never have to leave the house and it eases our anxiety. Let’s boycott being forced to be outside with PEOPLE.

Please let this post (if you haven’t noticed the others) be your sign to check in on people. Think about your teams for a minute. If you have someone who used to be really on top of things, and now they’re really not, it could be depression -- not whatever other assumptions you’ve made about what’s up with them.
Does anyone have suggestions for how to professionally ask someone if they’re REALLY okay?
What does it look like to successfully check in?

My sister wants me to pay for my father's hospitalization and related costs

My parents planned a trip to the US and never told me. My sister helped then plan. In the US, my father fell sick and had to be hospitalized. They did have travel insurance but there were still a lot of out of pocket expenses and other expenses related to rescheduling tickets, etc.

My sister contacted me once she got the bills and told me "as their son" I should be paying for everything.

Hi All, I need referrals for Sap basis positions with 2 years of exp.

Kindly help me out with this

Is it normal to complete a project and present it to a client for the 3rd round of the interview process?

Do I have less chance of being laid off as a senior or am I just as expendable as a first or second year

Does anyone have the elite Air Canada phone number? I can’t find it ……

Dear colleagues,

I need help with a referral at Accenture.
Can someone please help quick?

Really thankful

Advice needed on handing in notice, I recently signed an offer letter and understand the screening process takes 4-6 weeks. I have a month's notice period and have agreed a preliminary start date in Feb.

I was planning on not handing my notice in until the checks had been completed so its all secured (not that I think I will fail any checks), but apparently I need a reference from my current employer not previous ones. Can't really do this without handing in notice can I?

SA3A in tier 2 city comp?

I am in the process of salary discussion at PWC, my role is data scientist, I have 4 years of experience, my current CTC is 13 fixed, an offer of 18 in hand, any idea upto what I can ask?

What is the general consensus on online I/O psychology programs? I’m looking to pivot into HC consulting and am strongly considering USC’s online MAPP or Harvard Extension School’s I/O Psychology graduate program.

Would a professional certificate from a prestigious university make you a more seasoned candidate when applying to jobs if you don’t have relevant experience and/ or are pivoting? Have been considering it for awhile instead of going for a masters degree.

Do you think having attended Harvard UG helps with HBS?

let's all put paper or atleast look for other opportunities then they come to know how it feels. I am sure people who are in Publicis Sapient are very good in technical skills they can easily get job outside with same CTC.

Hey fishbowl fam! Have any of you recommended one of your students for Kumon, or put your personal child into their program? What are your thoughts from a teacher & parent perspective?

Has anyone seen follow up studies demonstrably proving causation between vaccines and covid rate/ severity reduction? This is not political at all and I don’t care about your stance on vaccines, just genuinely curious because I haven’t been able to find it and would expect that there would be more/ better data at this point with all the natural experiments going on.

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

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?

Folks with kids - what's your routine for cooking, gym, home chores etc. ? We have a 2.5 year old toddler and we struggle to cook food, drop off our kid in daycare and then cook dinner and find time for working out. I am curious how other working couples organize and manage cooking, home chores gym. I am recently diagnosed with ADHD and curious how others make it work while working full time. Thanks!

Can you cut 18mg Delmosart (i.e. Concerta) to get 2x 9mg?

Anyone (M and below) working on strategy projects who feels they’re slow at producing output? Or even slow in general?

Hey guys I’m working from home and the ADHD is killing my productivity. I get my work done but it takes me forever and I just keep getting ADHD paralysis. What are some of your best tips and tricks for getting your brain functioning again on task?

So today was my first day on a stimulant (diagnosed as an adult), and everyone says its suppose to feel like *boom* magic, or normal (?) , I guess. Knowing that is figurative, what should I actually be expecting? I feel mostly the same, I think, though I came in and actually did started my work today. But I mean, somedays I do that...I just don't want to psyche myself out if I'm expecting too much. Or pscyhe myself in if I actually might not be experiencing what I should.

I found a place with great reviews to be diagnosed for ADHD, but it’s through virtual appointments, is this a normal thing?

Ashwagandha. Look into it. With the Adderall shortage this has been an absolute life saver in my daily supplement pile.

How do I politely ask for what was a verbal warning "improve or we take next steps" in writing?

The fdbk I received all seems directly tied to my emotional dysregulation that I am just putting a name to let alone not knowing how to fix it (because if I knew that it wouldn't be a problem).

So I want my mgrs to put it in writing and how exactly they plan to measure it (other than they will "hear" it from ppl).... Cuz internally I can't separate what I'm feeling from what I think they're saying

When it is not an urgent or time bound task, I tend to not finish tasks but my mind wanders to some other tasks. How do you stay on task ? Would love to hear your suggestions. Thank you!

Looking for a good playlist to keep me motivated this morning :( I usually listen to Ava Max or something #ADHD is real!!

Does anyone know a good psychiatrist in NJ ?

Anyone feel like self-control is more difficult on stimulants in general? Like reflecting back on things, thinking before speaking, holding out on pleasure activities

Any tips for organizing a bedroom, closet, dresser & bathroom? My teen has IADHD, and low executive functioning. Her room looks like a land mine. Clean clothes are mixed in with dirty, her desk is a disaster, she won’t let go of clothes she’s outgrown, drawers are open with clothes hanging out. A therapist said to close her door if we don’t want to see it but it’s more than that. She needs this important life skill & I don’t know how to help. Easier to organize w/o her but that’s not a solution.

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.

What kind of accommodations can I ask for especially since I work from home? I am having an extremely hard time with the pressure and time constraints on getting the work done. I am a very fast pace worker but it’s like I can’t work fast enough here at this new job. And I don’t know what to ask for.
