I joined KGS in feb 2022, we recently got a mail regarding timeline of appraisal and bonus payout from the partner. My reporting manager hasn't yet reached out to me regarding goal setting, not sure if that happens here. Can you pls help me to know what all things we need to do from our end for the appraisal cycle and bonus payout? Since I'm new to this company KPMG KPMG India

Yes, stick it out, I feel my life is taking me to where I want to be
I wouldn’t say I have any feeling of depression. More like an overwhelming frustration and anger that comes with doing the required work now. The work being vlookups and chaser emails (to people who don’t need to be chased). My PM on the project insists on nearly pointless work that is not difficult but rather feels like a waste of my life force. I pushed back heavily many times from a kind place of logic and reason but she feels like she needs to prove herself/go above and beyond.
I have been happy on medication/off to go above and beyond whenever it made sense but when I’m asked to do tasks that do not even marginally push the boat forward I am finding it so difficult to complete them. I know on Adderall or Vyvanse I wouldn’t care as much even if it was useless.
Outside of work I normally workout, walk my dog, get dinner with friends, or hang with my brother. I do feel like I could do more here..

Can you say more about how you go from “boring project” to “wasting your life”? Is there depression associated with this feeling?
What do you do outside of work, and did the meds help motivate you to do social things also?
Regarding work that doesn’t inspire you, do look for something else, but be sure not to jump from one boring project to another
Why are you going off medication?
I have a guess that Vyvanse or any other stimulant makes your sleep less effective. You are KOD but not in a natural way. Less quality sleep = worse memory
It sounds like you really are not enjoying how you act *off* meds.
So I would ask you to elaborate on how exactly you dislike the way you act *on* meds.
I feel less able to have genuine conversations for some reason. Like my flow becomes off..
Have you tried other meds?
