I was going for a joke about our government’s Executive branch and how dysfunctional it is.
That aside, I hear you. I have my own maladies that are invisible. I’m currently fighting with my employer just to get a quiet work space so I can be productive again. They’re forcing me to get a doctor to require it because they’re so ridiculous. They won’t enforce any kind of office etiquette (open office plan), so people yell and are incredibly rude all day every day.
After about two hours of that environment, I have switched context too many times to focus through the noise and movement.
Massively appreciated. I almost deleted my post before posting it.
Executive dysfunction is a bitch, but not actually too bad on its own. It's when you either can't control around it, or don't know you need/how too that it really fucks you over.
I definitely feel your pain on that one. My partner works in teaching had a similar issue (they also have ADHD). Their work were amazing. A quick comment to HR, and they got moved to a duel office, with someone of a similar mindset. They were proactive in trying to help more.
They've also (with their permission) started referring students with ADHD to them. Apparently just having someone in authority who just understands can make a huge difference.
We are clawing in some level of control. I just wish the process wasn't so slow, but it's improving. Hopefully you'll be able to figure out a solution, or jump to a company that actually recognises that accommodations help with productivity (and sanity), and so help the company too.
