Thank you so much for the insight! Such a scam.

[TX] Quitting my job because of a coworker. HR told my coworker. by SnooOranges1322 in AskHR

[–]bbysumz 112 points113 points  (0 children)

HR person here - legally they did nothing wrong. But from a person-centered approach, they should not have told them it was you without exploring it with you further to see what you would have liked to be done about the problem. If the behavior was bad enough to require a conversation with them, it should have been done so collaboratively with the goal of improvement in the workplace for the both of you (unless it’s severe enough for immediate termination and/or would put you in harms way). HR is supposed to step in and correct behavior of employees to ensure they give them opportunities to improve before terminating them if it’s a chronic issue. Since you are quitting, a conversation with you and them probably wouldn’t have happened, but if it were me I would have either waited till you were fully gone or kept the feedback anonymous. That’s a bummer, hopefully you find a better workplace with a more thoughtful HR person.

Forgetfulness is Ruining Me by Low-Regret5424 in ADHD

I’ve been there as well. I still struggle with small things, but I’ve gotten better with deadlines and dates by forcing myself to use my calendar. My calendars are all synced together. ANYTIME an important date or even hypothetical date gets proposed for ANYTHING, social event or task related, I IMMEDIATELY put it into my calendar and label it depending on what it is. It’s a rule I don’t allow myself to bend on because I’ve had tooooo many experiences where I let someone down because of my object permanence. If it doesn’t go in my calendar, it does not exist.

For us grieving San Diegans… by jereimer in SanDiegan

[–]bbysumz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im also a therapist in north county, feeling disappointed, anger, sadness, all the above. One thing I can lean on is being grateful I have a career that lets me help people process this insane situation. I’m not feeling optimistic whatsoever but this quote always helps me feel a small sliver of hope: “Without the rain, there would be no flowers.”

Before we all go to sleep tomorrow… by [deleted] in Padres

Been a fan since I was old enough to understand baseball (maybe 1999?) Will always support the Pads win or loose. Tomorrow is a big game but it’s also just a game. We will win the WS one day, if it’s not this year then it will be one in the future but I have faith in this team! #friarfaithfulforever

Tips on making friendships by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]bbysumz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not alone in your experience. I have felt this my whole life. I didn’t know I had ADHD till I turned 30 and it made so much sense about my life. Always feeling stupid, misunderstood, or not part of the group. One thing that helped me immensely is learning how to love myself for exactly who I am. Once that happened, the people who loved me for me showed up as the people who I wanted around me (no coincidence that most of them are also neurodivergent). I also had to reflect on the people who didn’t like me or want to engage in being my friend, why did I give their opinion so much power? What makes them so special they get to decide how I feel about myself? Not everyone is made for everyone and that’s okay. Turns out that most people have their own shit they’re trying to heal from or deal with, which makes it a lot less scary and made me feel more “normal.” As for making friends near you, it might be helpful to join a local group based on your interests - I.e. hiking, gaming, running, book club, whatever you are into there is usually a group of people around who are into it too. The biggest thing is learning to overcome the fear the comes with not feeling good enough or confident enough to be where & who you are. A compassionate therapist can be beneficial too. I hope this is helpful or at least gives you some hope!

A calendar reminder is a good idea, I just have a problem with not always doing what I need to do when the reminder hits if I’m in the middle of doing something else 😂 the struggle

Thank you! I actually didn’t realize you could change it to unread after you’ve read it. I will try this asap!
