I'm struggling at work and in the process of adjusting my meds, while simultaneously trying to fix some bad habits that I think came from burnout. I thought having a manager who has ADHD would be helpful. On the contrary, they don't seem to have a lot of empathy or patience for me. I think, in part, because they have theirs under control and are a high performer. Maybe they forgot what poorly controlled symptoms/adjustments feel like? Anyone else have similar experiences?

The hostility on my team is rough. We have a yeller. I walked by her room the other day. She was screaming across the room at a student, "you have to be kind to get kindness." Seriously, those were her words in a loud, berating, angry tone. Our admin has asked that we not report these. We are to talk to the teacher. She has yelled at me and other adults. Admin has to know she treats the kids this way too. One teacher has to work with her door closed to not hear the yelling all day.

Anyone have advice for dealing with a difficult secretary? I am a first year and my secretary is at least 30 years older than me and works also for the managing partner. She is very non responsive and verges on rude in interactions with me despite the fact I very rarely ask anything from her (only help with a filing every now and then). I don’t want to stir the pot as a newbie but it’s tough when I feel like I can’t reliably ask her for help when needed. How can I professionally address this?
