After miserably “bootstrapping” my undiagnosed ass through engineering school, getting requisite experience and passing the 8 hr exam to become a licensed professional engineer, and about a decade of experience- all while heeding the advice of “JUST TRY HARDER TO FOCUS” - I finally got an adhd diagnosis.
I tried getting a reasonable accommodation for remote work (something I’d done for years prior - let alone during “lockdowns”) and was told (by hr) that not being in the office means I’m incapable of doing my job. So I settled for wfh two days a week, and as everyone else is in the office full time now, I now stick out like a sore thumb, and have been passed up for promotions despite glowing reviews because “there’s more to work than just completing projects.”
Not sure what it takes for people to feel a shred of empathy, but I hope it happens to them some day.
