[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I worked for a boss with ADHD for 3 years. It was extremely stressful as he would get excited about things, go tangent, and follow up so closely on where things were to a point where I felt I was under the lens every minute. I was a highly efficient employee and delivered all the deliverables very quickly and ahead of time. That made him ask for more and more. He told me a few times that his wife wants him to start meds for ADHD. That's when I realized that all his jumping around was because of that condition. I had 1:1 conversations with him many times on how his ideas stressed me out and got me exhausted trying to make those work and deliver. He also apologized a couple times but the micromanagement got worse each day. I finally looked for another job and quit. I feel so much as peace now. Seriously that stress that was caused to me wasn't worth it. 
I would say try to look for another job. [/quote]

Straight up and full stop. This is the most exhausting, depressing, aggravated, and frustrated I have ever been in my life working for this turd of a woman. Not only is my boss ADD and obese, but she also micromanages and bullies me. She constantly interrupts me and all of our coworkers try to avoid her when they see her coming because she never stops talking, and talking over you. Quit. Move on. You don't need to endure this.[/quote]

Why do you mention that she’s obese? How is that related at all to her negative interactions with you? [/quote]

NP and I wondered, too. And then I recalled working for an obese boss and she physically used her body mass to intimate others by getting in their space. I wonder if that is why OP mentioned it. Certainly not all obese people do this, but I wouldn’t be surprised in a high percentage of obese bullies do.[/quote]

Fascinating![/quote]
