Getting fired! | ADHD Information

I guess I am normal too then.

I worked at the USP Postal Service - is there any WORSE combination for an ADHDer? I stood up and told the evil supervisor to "F *Off" I sung it so loud that even the back row could hear. Added that she was a "F#*)(g  B%!#" too. Shockingly, they tried to fire me but couldn't.

I haven't ever done that since. I guess you do learn...you learn to have more money in the bank now as backup.   I hope I never feel compelled to do that again.


p.s. Laurela, I'm sorry...I mean to respond with "I am so sorry you got fired. Are you doing ok?"

Hi there. I was just fired for accidentally telling my boss "Go F** Yourself," because she complained about something small. I get fired for being impulsively confrontational, or disorganized and late. Either or. Anybody else struggling on the job?There definitely already is a post for this. New on this board and just feel like typin away.

Happy night Happy day Happy life.

 

 

 

Laurala, it takes a great deal of restraint on my part to keep from telling the moronic management staff to go @##$ off!  Responsibility and obligation to my family has greatly contributed to my restraint.  I got fired once for trying to kick my bosses butt after he yelled at me in front of others.  I was restrained by others and I pretty much left work and didn't expect an invite ever again!  The older you get the more you learn (hopefully).  Being disorganized has been my downfall everywhere I go.  Being late has long been my trademark.  Habits are very hard to break.  Your just as "normal" as me then. 
Gosh, Lauralie I'm so sorry. I'm struggling with my job right now but talking about it will make me too depressed.

I have had various confrontations with many bosses.  My problem was my total rebellion against authority.

OK, so I did have 2 or 3 crazy b!tches from hell too. 

Looking back, a lot of it was due to my disorganized life and extremely short attention span.  I would miss meetings, not file reports etc.  What was seen as insubordination was simply me being me.

I was never fired from a job, but I did leave 2 without notice (and I was a higher up manager!) and 2 others on really bad terms.  ~~sigh~~ I took too much too personal.

Being dx'd with ADD and going on meds has been a life saver.

I am sorry you got fired darlin'.  I am sure that there is a better job for you out there. 

Thanks EBurns. Haha, right now I'm collectin unemployment (the bit that there is), and trying to support myself with internet poker. Not working out too well yet (I download music in the middle of tournaments, and check email)

Good luck with them crazy b!tches :)

 

Also not good with authority. Never had the balls to tell a boss to f**k themselves tho. Must be therapuetic in a strange kinda way.

Good luck with the poker and sorry to hear bout your job loss

I work with my husband and I tell him to f**k off all the time - but he cant fire me
