I have this junior who is constantly trying to insult me indirectly. I’m someone who believes in no hierarchy and encourages my juniors work as a team.
But he is trying to put me in really uncomfortable situations. For example, today I wanted to know something regarding our project, when I called him by name, I could hear him saying the person next to him, “let him call, let’s ignore “.
Only when I went near him and asked the question again, he responded. How would you handle this situation?

Are you his senior only because you have been in the company longer or have more total work experience?

After 12 rounds of me vs my adhd - its still a LOVE/HATE relationship. I conclude I’m in the wrong career as a result. I love being smart, excelling, having random super human skills. But my career/stalemate with my own mind makes me feel like I am the biggest loser fuck up ever. All the time. I 1000% understand why work isn’t working out. I empathize for all involved > they probs deserve. Thrilled to figure this out but OH F$CK this is gonna get BAD bad before it gets fixed. Commiserate?
