Currently struggling with my monotone, always-the-same office job. I was wondering if anyone living with ADHD has some jobs they like/liked doing, cause the burnout is getting intolerable, but I can't think of anything else I'd like to do for a living.

To be clear I worked as a nurse’s aide (PSW here in Ontario), so within the “nursing” department. I just quit that job with no notice today. A PSW’s job is one of the hardest jobs I know of and really destroys your mental and physical health. On top of that, my workplace was expecting me to be reception (portable phones after the receptionist went home because CEO didn’t want to pay them past 6 pm), be a defacto nurse handing out medication and doing wound care, be a food server, housekeeper, maintenance worker, counsellor(despite having zero extra time with our task lists we were expected to cater to a resident’s need to unload for as long as it took but not get paid overtime for that) and tech support. What really bothered me was that the nurses refused to help the PSWs when we were short staffed because our…

In July, my wife and I are going to South America for vacation.my schedule is on a 2 week rotation. Starting Sunday, I work Sun,off Mon,, Tues. Work Wed, Thurs. Off Fri, Sat, Sun. Work Mon, Tue, off Wed, Thur, work Friday, Sat. Start over. I put in for July, 4 days off. On this rotation, it would be Wed, Thurs, then Mon, Tue the following week. That gives me 10 consecutive days off, but only 4 work days I would have to take off. The supervisor told me I could not have 10 consecutive days off. The most they would allow is 7. I figured I was cutting time short with 10 days, but was going to make it work. I have 80hrs of vacation time for the year, and I'm taking it. Time away is more important than any job. I put for the days off months in…

So my manager and line manager work from home a lot of the time. Yet me and my coworker (we are a small team) are expected to be in the office every single day. She’s never even mentioned WFH to us. All I want is a couple of days working remotely. Me and my coworker are capable of working from home. So why does my manager get to do it and we can’t ??? so frustrating having to drive in to the office 5 days a week, when I can do the exact same work from home.

I worked at a Dunkin Donuts for a few months, and the entire time I was looking for a new job. I hated it there, but nonetheless I never called out and always showed up and did my job. I recently got hired at a new place and started immediately so I quit Dunkin without notice. Basically ghosted the job cus fuck them (pay was low and management and coworkers treated me like crap). I haven’t gotten my last paycheck and it’s been almost three weeks. That’s hundreds of dollars i’m missing. What do I do? Are companies allowed to withhold checks if you quit without notice?

I have a coworker who loves me.. I know it's not something to complain about, having a coworker that I get along with. The problem is that we work remotely and she calls me very very frequently. At least 3 times a day. And the call lasts for hours. We just talk while we work. It's honestly so distracting for me but she says that she likes working that way because it makes her day go by faster. Our manager has said that he doesnt mind this as long as we're getting our work done. I've already tried telling her multiple times that I prefer to not be on the phone all of the time and she'll stop calling for a day or two but then slowly she builds back up to it I just don't know what to do. When I tell her that I don't want to talk,…

Basically the title. Obviously i know its essentially a way to discuss unfair/unsafe/unsatisfactory business practices. But, i guess im curios about the more detailed reasons
