I recently discovered that I have ADHD. My boss was the one who joked around and said things like “You can't sit still” or “You need to focus more” or “You hear but you don't listen” and “Maybe you have ADHD.” I did mutiple online tests and went to see a professional who in fact confirmed I have ADHD. I'm not on meds yet.
This job paid 3x the average salary but it was hell. They give 1 hour of break, that is 40 mins lunch time and 2x 10 mins smoke breaks. Since I don't smoke, I take my 10 mins breaks to relax my mind off work since you can't exceed the 40 mins for lunch. My boss came to me and said “You don't have to take the 10 mins breaks. If you keep being on prod it will be better for you. See, here we are a family and you'll notice most of the workers don't even take lunch time to remain productive” then she added “I see you go to the bathroom often. I know you told me you have IBS but in all you take 1 hour of break for lunch and for shit-time.” This is because most of the time I go to the bathroom when I take the 10mins breaks. I shit on prod time sometimes but they gave me a warning.
Now I was confused because the 1 hour was the agreed break time and of course I told her this. Then she goes again “Yes but here it's not like that. The more you are on prod, the better it will be for you. Why can't you be like the others? It's not going to work out if you keep acting like this. You have medical conditions but you should make an effort. I pay you a high salary for this, you are not working for free.” She pissed me off with that statement.
Then after a few minutes while I was back on prod she asked me to review a document. I was reviewing the doc when she asked why I'm not on the phone? I said because I can't call someone and focus on a document at the same time. She then said “Look it won't workout if you keep acting like this. You should be able to do multiple things at the same time. Everybody is doing it. You already take more break time than the others, now this.” I snapped. I told her I quit on the spot. She was shocked because she is clearly not used to someone not agreeing to her. On the way out I said out loud on the platform “Fuck your toxic family”
It was the best decision I ever made because I feel relieved in my head. I don't feel the mental fatigue anymore.
