Ever find yourself chilling at work and be like “they pay me too much for this”
Its been a while but the post-covid/pre AI boom was a nice break from the hustle, and people were still more productive than they were previously
More like knowing my focus will drain my energy and I need that to function outside if work to.
Thankfully, I do have a job where I get paid more when I work harder.
You should. Equal pay for equal work. How much is you boss working, getting paid? Their boss,…
This hits so hard. ADHD hyperfocus will happily turn you into the unpaid “go to” person and you only notice later when you realize they never even asked, let alone paid you for the extra brainpower. I get angry just thinking about how much free labor our brains give away.
Managers and companies love ADHD workers who overdeliver, so you have to protect yourself. Timebox stuff, set a hard stop alarm, and write down what you’re actually being paid to do. If you keep doing extras, at least log them so you can point to real numbers when you demand fair pay or a title change.
Also, stop feeling guilty for chilling. Your brain is not a productivity factory, it’s a person with limits. Take the break.
Meh, it tends to even out with all the nonproductive hours the other half of the time where you do 20min worth of work in 3 hours because the task is not interesting.
Sometimes it’s the other way around so it evens out
I’m equal parts thankful/horrified that they gave me an office.
Pros: I can play Luanti at work >:) Cons: I have to remember to work :(
no, i’m riding the wave. i can only give 10% or 150%. there are no inbetweens and i hope to even it out.
Doing it right now.
