I am so sorry you got fired. I don’t know how long you have been in the workplace or if this is your first time getting fired. It still hurts, and I am so sorry you are feeling it.

I have been in the workplace for 30 years. I have either been fired, laid off, or asked to leave every job I have ever had. for me it is just a matter of time. I was diagnosed with ADHD last year, and I told my workplace of the diagnosis. They elected not to renew my contract. I have told my current employer, and after 4 months and a terrible review with lots of “On the bright side, you have no where to go but up”, which I translate as “you have nowhere to go but OUT”. They put me on a PIP, which means its now a race to see if I can find my next former employer before this one fires me.

From what I have seen, It doesn’t much matter if you tell them or not. It only lets them put a name or a tag on every little screw-up.

I don’t think telling a boss about ADHD is a good idea.
