Recently did a drug test and obviously I take meds (dextroamphetamine). Will my new employer flag me? Do I need to provide a doctors note proactively or do I wait or them to ask?

Today my boss took away my reportees just because I backed them. He told me that they cannot have long lunch break as they are contracters . I disagree with him and he immediately told me that it would be better to assign them to a different manager. How can I raise this with Hr ?

Is saying you have immediate availability while currently employed a red flag? The more I see greener grass on the other side, the faster I want to cut all ties from my current employer. Constant micromanagement and 60 hour weeks are taking a toll and I need out.

How do you professionally address a noticeable lack of diversity on your team? More than 85% of my team is white or white passing, and of the remaining individuals none are Black, Indigenous, or AAPI.

What are your thoughts on having your webcam on/off for meetings with prospects? Do you have them turn it on, differences in industries for value of face-to-face, etc?

My boss the general manager is setting me up at work. She is saying all this stuff about me that is not true at all. But when I come into her shift or come into my shift after hers nothing is done for me. A lot of the prep is not done. And she complains about me not doing the prep. Stuff Is still dirty. One day she left the grill on. Etc. There was another manager there training to run another store and she said I basically do a lot of the work while she doesn't do much. So she stood up for me.

Lesson learned. Attractive females who you meet at the bar at a W hotel aren't really interested in what you do for work...

How do you handle difficult clients? Our agency has a client that asks for MANY corrections yet refuses to pay more for the extra work we're doing for her even if we followed her original guidelines to a T due to a history of this happening before.

My coworker brought a puppy to work, who bit my hand. I ended up losing my temper and yelling at them. Now everyone is mad at me for blowing up at work, even though this is something I shouldn't have had to deal with in the first place!

Is it normal for doormen to get involved in personal lives? I made small talk with my doorman as I was on my way out to meet a friend who was waiting outside my building. When the doorman saw my friend (who’s a male, I’m a female), the doorman immediately asked where my bf is. I’m guessing he was suspecting me of cheating? My friend isn’t interested in women, but I didn’t feel the need to “out” him in order to defend myself… is this normal? I feel judged 😅

So tired of bosses/team members boasting about being ‘a straight shooter’... it just means they are going to be an a-hole but can dress it up as a leadership style...what are other red flag quotes?

How do you navigate a conversation with a supervisor where the supervisor just isn’t reading your emails/when they do they misread them? Signed, venting partially but also what?!

People who are in relationships with someone who is a different type of Indian than you - how do you make it work with traditions, culture, food, etc?

I feel like so much of the media discussion about people NOT going back to work is centered on POC. I have white coworkers just as frustrated. Is this just another example of how POC are having the authentic conversation no one else is willing to have?

Feeling a little beaten down. Have a new partner that is the opposite of me in every way--which I thought could be a good thing. Instead, so far I’m the only one willing to compromise or (continued)

I lead a pretty good size team. One of the managers that I have under me, manages a team of 6 writers. This manager literally bites his nails/nail beds every day. Like to the point where they bleed. We are all grossed out and I cannot find a way to approach this conversation. Looking for tips or suggestions!

What would be suggested for long-term growth? Doing growth-related data science at a private equity firm or a role as a monetization pm in a FANG-related company? What are possible growth areas after the job at a PE firm? I'm concerned that a career in PM would plateau.

About to post a job w/ HC software co (~550 employees). Need someone who can manage relationships w/ cons/analyst firms that advise health plans on pop health software / serve as SI's, & relationships with Big Tech (MSFT, Oracle, etc).

Goal would be to give this person an opportunity to grow into more senior roles as knowledge of pop health increases. Thoughts / suggestions appreciated.

Whose spending their last days of the year counting?

I have COVID for the first time rn, but I'm currently in MBB case interview mode, so I want to give my body time to sleep so I can rest and do well, but even with sleep aids, my mind is wide awake and wants to convert random improper fractions to decimals in my head, market sizing drills, and more 🤕

I'm cutting back to my usual dose of D3 because I think the higher COVID dose is disrupting my sleep, but how else do you recommend shut down your mind when your ADHD mind won't turn off work.

I'm pretty proud of the progress I've made when it comes to staying on task in my work life. What I'm having bigger issues with is transitioning from one thing to another. Ex..I'll go to pour a glass of water after finishing something, realize the trash needs to be taken out, realize I need to walk down to pick up my mail, etc. Any tips on making this easier?

Wow! This bowl exists. I am so happy.

Long one - one of my best friends (10+ years) and I had a drink last week, I told her of my recent ADHD diagnosis and how we had noticed the generational trend (my mum & grandad as very similar symptoms wise and they acknowledge this, but not diagnosed). The friend mentioned her therapist has suggested she may had ADHD (inattentive type) - she then told me a few things like how she's absolutely neurotypical and she's never associated herself with neurodiversity etc, she made a ...

Hello to anyone who joins!

Has anyone tried nootropics like Thesis? How was your experience?

Anyone take benazepril or other blood pressure medications?

How do y’all fall asleep and get your 7-8 hours? Just spent the whole night tossing and turning

Did anyone else hear these phrases constantly growing up? “You’re smart but lazy”. “Your problem is you get bored too easily."

When I was diagnosed, I struggled to find any info out there on adults and workplace etc. Thinking of setting up just a blog space for people’s stories, anonymously. If anyone’s happy to tell their story or an experience that might be useful lmk. Happy to provide a framework of questions so you don’t have to write a think piece... could be how it impacts work, advances your work, learnings from medication, learnings from stress, how you tell people, etc - anything that could help others!

I’m great a vision and high level planning. I hate dealing with the intricate details at the next level and monitoring progress, especially during periods of low motivation/burnout which I’ve come to associate with my ADHD. Is this something you all deal with? If so, how do you manage?

Any other males get really sensitive nipples (especially the left) when the adderall wears off? 😂 I wish I were joking, but it genuinely is irritating enough that I have to not wear a shirt / take week-long+ breaks once it reaches a certain point.

Has anybody had experience "discovering" themselves and how did you do it?

I don't know if this is the ADHD but I've been at my firm for a year and not one day have I woken up with motivation to go above and beyond the bare minimum. I haven't been passionate or interested in any project I've been on. Outside of work, I have a few small hobbies but nothing I'd consider a true passion. Everybody says "just find a job in something you like" but idk if I like anything enough to make it a career!

My psychiatrist recommended for me to try Ritalin. I’ve been on Dexedrine for a few months, and I’m not really having negative side effects.

Is she a pill mill, or is it worth fixing something that’s not broken?

Any advice on shifting towards the manager role? I’m finding it hard to maintain focus and energy with IM questions (interruptions) from the team and others and with reviewing / driving progress on the parts of my project scope that I enjoy doing less myself to begin with ?

Has anyone tried Keto and experienced a improvement in ADD symptoms? I’m really trying to get off medication at some point. I’ve tried exercise, but need more. Thanks! :)

Ever since starting adderall I have noticed this weird tingling/buzzing sensation in my foot. Has anyone else ever experienced this?
