GameGuy,
I agree with Geoduck. There is no need to bring ADD into the picture right now as it would only clearly fasten a ‘bullseye’ target on your forehead. Wait until you’ve done something fantastic to bring the ADD issue up. Then your colleagues will look upon your ADD with greater acceptance (maybe even envy- okay, that’s just plain crazy!) rather than seeing it as the factor that turns you into a ‘dud’ worker that can’t be counted on to do his job.
However, I would suggest that you bring up the current issue of the erratic delivery system that’s in place that is causing you to receive work assignments just hours before they are due (or even post-due!!). Let your superiors know that you always do your best to meet the deadlines for these last minute arrivals but you are concerned about the clients ‘take’ or view on these matters. They just might be the ones most affected/shortchanged by such treatment……so, can we work together to improve the assigning and delivery of work becomes more effective than the system currently being used? Then it becomes apparent that you’re not wanting to point fingers to deflect/assign blame for work that is late but rather one whereby you’re just wanting to do what is best for the client and the company. These days, it’s all about keeping the customer happy!
Nobody likes someone who off-loads responsibility for problems but they’re much more likely to be receptive of someone trying to problem-solve issues pertaining to the success of a business. These days, businesses count every penny!
Good luck! Sometimes, I wish I could work from home ’cause then I wouldn’t have to deal with manipulative and conniving people. (Did I have one of ‘those’ days? Maybe…. 😆 )
Let the boss know you are concerned that you are unable to properly address or complete the tasks in an appropriate manner because of the frequent mix-ups that have been occurring. you are more concerned with the message that is being given to your company’s clients.
