Has anyone ever signed an offer then rescind it
Hi all,
I just came to realise Deutsche Bank has a fixed rule of max 30 to 35 % hike on fixed component and remaining 10 to 15% variable i.e. total 50% max hike you can ask for no matter how good, skilled you are.
Is it true?
(I got to know this when an HR called me for a Frontend developer role)

I am currently struggling with this. The only solution I've found is to hyper focus on organizing. The problem with that is, it's a one time thing. I can't work on it consistently. I feel like we (people with ADHD) work in sprints. If you can motivate him to "take care of it RIGHT NOW", that seems to work with me. Nothing else that I need to do right now, just this. Boom, off to the races. (For that moment).

I didn’t know either but it does seem hoarding is an ADHD thing loool
Haha I love the name Doom Boxes. My house is still a mess with things all over the place, but one thing that has helped some is that I recently got a file box with various folders inside. The box sits near my kitchen. I’ve done a decent job at filing all important documents in there when I get them. This doesn’t eliminate my other messes, but at least I can easily find the most important things.
Hmmm. I've never heard of this, but it does make a lot of sense. I wonder if there are any proven techniques to overcome this. Probably worth looking into.
This is me 100%
Oh my goodness! I have been leaving doom boxes in every corner of my house long before I was diagnosed with adhd! This never really came through while getting diagnosed. I had zero idea that that was it! I'm shocked.
This is me so much. I’ve been trying to get a grip on it and it is so damn hard.
These so called Doom Boxes are just a pessimistic view of what should be called “Structured Chaos” - as a professional w ADHD, I too have several of these “Containers of Experiences” that at some point, I’ll be very comfortable parting with - I just don’t like being ‘told’ to get rid of them 😬 - lemme take my time and stop telling me how “structure” my life and get on controlled substances like Adderall, Ridlin, Vivance, Concerta etc etc etc

Um, I’m not, nor is anyone else, telling you how to live. This was a post about how:
1. I didn’t know this was an ADHD thing; it’s nice to know that a behavior might not be neurotypical but it is not abnormal amongst the ADHD community.
2. It’s great they don’t bother you; the quantity I have in my life bother me. Knowing a behavior is ADHD typical means I can find solutions that have worked for other ADHD folks vs looking for answers in the general population that don’t consider ADHDers strengths and weaknesses.
