One thing Covid has taught me, sort of, is that I have no friggin’ clue how to manage adhd. When work was so unpredictable, I begged to WFH when I was overwhelmed- and did 10x better. But having to start full time with a company 💯 remote SUCKS- I can’t get shit done. There’s nothing engaging without team morale to motivate me through dull shitty work. My brain would rather redecorate/organize/tidy/cozy up my space than learn something new that I’m not even the least bit interested in.

So how do you cope when you are voluntold for work you have no interest in.

And the caveat that I have to at least start the next task before I get my last reward… or I’ll get fixated and never get going again on work until my tunnel vision runs out. If I at least start the next step, I might solve it during “reward time” and be more compelled to go back and cross it off faster.

I know it’s ridiculous. I’m grasping at anything to possibly counterbalance my adhd even marginally.

Does anyone feel they’re adding any sort of value while going to the office? I personally don’t. In my team there’s legit zero level interaction with each other, no informative talks, no growths conversation and few are so absurd that each day they just find ways to impress their snrs. man, come on😅

Leadership asks us to come 2-3 days in a week and if I have to work in the same way which I used to do from home then why don’t we keep doing WFH as long as your job is not suffering.

Dead Floor!

Has your company pivoted to remote, hybrid, or all return to office?

What’re the various agencies/components’ return to office dates (if announced)? And what’re the remote work policies after that date? I hear DOJ said their individual components will decide when exactly to return between mid-March and early May and some are offering a lot of remote flexibility even after then. Curious to hear more details though, both for specific DOJ components and other agencies!

I work on a small 4 person remote team- 2 peers and our manager. My 2 peers were recently hired and started in February this year. I actually trained them since I have held that position (Manager). I have been at the company for 6 years and moved to a Sr. IC role. My skip-level was previously my direct manager. My manager told us about a plan to meet up in person this summer for team building. It slipped in a meeting today that everyone but me is included in going. More in comments.
