Hell of a caveat there.

    Thinking about it, a manager who knows how to trick adhd workers to hyper focus on stuff could make a killer department 🤔

    In my experience all it takes is a reasonable manager who can make progressive goals that are easily achievable which help build and develop a person while getting them engaged and acknowledging their hard work at each stage. It's much easier than tricking i feel

    Someone close to me has struggled forever with ADHD. A heroic effort got her through med school. They are an ER doc. Their life outside the ER would not work at all without an amazing partner, but at work, it's kind of perfect. Fix it, it goes away. Everything is different all the time. Fix shiny thing, send it home, find next shiny thing.

    It is a very unique situation though.

    If more workplaces incorporated performance based snacks it wouldn't be!

    Sure, if you want an even greater obesity epidemic.
