I got placed on a PIP at work and I'm working hard to improve. What kind of accommodations have you asked for or had implemented in your workplaces or personal lives? When I ask HR, they tell me to come to them with ideas and my psychiatrist says he needs me to give him the list of things I need since he isn't familiar with every job.

The main issues cited were not asking questions/wasting time trying to figure things out for too long, taking longer to complete tasks than others

1) get an executive function coach, a psychiatrist is for medication management
2) what about setting reasonable check-in timeframes with your boss/coaches to make sure you understand assignments and are on the right track? Like when your boss asks you to do something, you ask when they’d like your final deliverable, and work with them to define the check-ins needed to get to that deliverable.

I would search here (https://www.adhdcoaches.org) and also ask on a local facebook page. Replies might be more geared to kids but many coaches cover a broader age range.

Some potential accommodations may be noise cancelling headphones to keep out distractions or software that might help you stay focused.

It sounds like you might be struggling with engagement. Do you like the job? Is your manager giving you clear tasks to do and do you know how to do the work you’re assigned? These aren’t necessarily ADHD issues.
