I am a female with ADHD. I am high functional and self-aware. There are occasions where you may see my ADHD traits if you know what you are looking for. I work in finance and I am more than qualified with the relevant work experience. I also ran my own consultancy for a while.
I wanted to get into a niche industry and a position came through as Finance Manager. It was the company's first hire and number 1 in finance. I don't know how I ended up making this assumption but I assumed that it was a leadership position despite the job title. If you ask why, it's because Finance job titles are often wrong. I just saw number 1 in finance and ran with it.
I started the job and my role reports to an Operations leader. The business immediately stopped some additional finance support that they were getting so I ended up having to pick up some bookkeeping work as well.
In my first week, there is a major issue in finance that was caused by my predecessor. The Commercial leader says to me "YOU have changed something, because this is wrong. Oh never mind. I will ask the bookkeeper to check your work."
About 6 weeks into my job I need to check something with the Marketing leader. I sent a message "Hello Jo, how are you?". I have throughout my career always used this. The answer is usually something casual then getting into business. This time, Marketing leader says to me "Can you please not message me like this? Please write the whole context of your interaction in the first message."
I hate my job and I don't know what to do.
