Last week I was let go from partner atty because of a Zoom link that didn't work for him. We don't use zoom at this firm we weren't trained on it also. Previous firms that I worked for didn't use Zoom so I didn't have 2 much experience with zoom, I did get him a link and a log in host information, but he was unable to get on. I've been at this firm for almost 3 years & now they I'm not doing a good job. He is a bully & so is the lead secretary. He treats others like they are beneath him.

I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 12. My family did not opt to put me on medication. I illegally discovered Adderall in college. Worked incredible. Got diagnosed after college & after having been fired from my first job. Passed the CPA exams on Adderall. Went off of it again. I do everything well at my job except for attention to detail within my excel files & emails. Will taking ADHD medication really fix this? Does anyone else have this issue and was it resolved by taking medication?
