So I’m an HR assistant and the HR coordinator and another administrator had a meeting with me today to address their concerns. Some of them were about honest mistakes and I’m trying to be more conscious to catch them going forward.
Some of the concerns were just down right dumb. For example my office sits next to another office at the front door of the long term care facility I work in. The copier and fax machine and all staff documents like punch edit sheets, time off requests, mailboxes etc are all in my office. Between the traffic, phone ringing, and general noise of a nursing home I struggle to focus with my ADHD. I wear headphones and listen to Lofi music to drown out the noise so i can focus and they said I can no longer wear headphones at my desk so I can answer the phones. I literally do answer the phones and I hear them ringing as I’m not blaring music so there’s really no concern other than they just don’t want me to wear them. I don’t really know how to proceed because I kind of need my headphones or else my focus doesn’t exist.
