I just found out my new coworker has ADHD. While that doesn’t bother me, I have never worked with someone with ADHD. Anyone have any suggestions for me?

It depends on if they are using medication to treat ADHD. My close friend has it. I would say give grace toward the end of the day. If things seem not to be as organized or not clicking in conversation. Additionally, be mindful of the energy it takes to stay focused and have meaningful conversations. If the co-worker is a woman and is pregnant, they may not be able to take their meds, making focus difficult. Treat your co-worker the same but extend grace and ask if they need help.

I feel validated, finally, but I can’t help feeling grief too over so much lost potential and unnecessary failure, especially in law school and my career.

Med costs have all gone up. Ins. cos. have relatively thin profit margins to begin with. There's talk of cost-cutting measures-- incl. layoffs. How realistic are these concerns?

Hey! I’m new here and would like some input. I’ve been working in a new position for almost 5 months. In that time I’ve witnessed some unethical and lots of unprofessional behavior. I’ve been yelled at and berated by my coworker 3 separate times because of minor errors. I’m ready to quit. There are so many major issues in this company that I don’t know if I want to subject my mental health to this degree of toxicity. I just don’t know how to move forward from here.
