I (24F) interned at a major bank on the corporate side for 4 months. It wasn’t great, but it wasn’t bad either. I am diagnosed with ADHD which only became a problem that I needed meds for after the start of the pandemic while I was in college.
Anyways, because of my ADHD, I have a really hard time processing information. I take very good and helpful notes, but obviously they can’t train me for every single scenario possible so I end up having to ask questions often. Despite this challenge, I was able to perform well enough to get a job offer which I accepted.
Immediately after I started working as a full-time employee, people started treating me differently which was sort of hard to get used to but it’s been 2 months so I’m adjusting. I can’t really describe it but the way they approached me changed; like going from willing to help to being annoyed by questions. It was recently brought to my attention that my supervisor has been complaining about my questions and saying that she can’t get any work done because of me.
My questions are always about things that weren’t during the training and because we work with so many different documents, it’s hard to keep things sorted because one thing could be true for Document A but false for Document B. They asked me to basically distribute my questions to people other than my supervisor which I’ve done before but everyone tells me different things so when I do it their way for person 1, person 2 will reject it because they do it differently.
This is my first real corporate job and nobody I know has worked corporate so I don’t know how to handle this. Is there anything I can even do about this? It’s gotten to the point where I dread going to work which is something unusual for me because I always find a way to enjoy (or at least be neutral about) what I do so it’s really affecting me. I’m not sure if everyone knows but multiple people including my supervisor know I have ADHD and/or am taking medication for it.
