I agree that there are times where you need to put in extra hours, but everyday seems a little much.

Sometimes there is a bigger carrot at the end or he/she has different needs

He has 3 kids (who he said he say for 1 hour over the last 2 weeks) and works a few miles from the client site while the rest of us travel in.

Agreed A1. You can have a healthy personal life without kids.

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.

I do everything well at my job except for attention to detail within my excel files & emails. Will taking ADHD medication really fix this?

I am struggling to fight off depression over my internal job search. There is no real opportunity for advancement in my immediate department/current job. There’s plenty of opportunity otherwise, and opportunities for which I am well qualified, but getting recruiters to take notice seems to be another story. There is no capability to impress through your work and seek advancement based on achievement, work ethic, capabilities…. I guess it is time to leave Lowe’s
