I understand what your going through. Currently I am in a managing position and I feel I am being taking advantage off and the owners of where I work, I feel are not seeing my full potential I am being critisied left right and centre for things that I have no control over and the things I do good in, get not compliments. On the other side my coworker gets all the praise for what ever and spends less time at work then I do. I do all the work and deal with the issues, then when I react to the critizim, I get told I am being defensive. Seriously!! It becomes to much, The thing is if I suggest something I get told : you have no idea what your talking about’ , but then the coworker can say the exact same thing and gets thats a fab idea. To boot I have been in my line line of work with different companies for the last 12yrs, and my coworker only knows this one job. I know I have to leave because the environment is toxic for me.
So at 37 I am finding myself having to start all over again, theres days I feel great about it, but then there are days that I get really upset cause for me its like, when can I ever find a job/career that lasts more than a year.?? And it becomes harder because the resume shows the jobs and its yearly additions and people don’t get it.
So AddIed- if you get this new job- then do it. At the end of the day like you said its all new and now you know that ADD is your life, you can learn to incorporate it in the new setting. And no one will know unless you say so. And thats a good thing, no?? PS they can’t fire you for having ADD.. Its against the law. Maybe talk to ministry of labour about it and find out what your rights are for disclosing this kind of info.
Good luck..
