This article feels like it was written for my brother. He's been fired, sequentially, 4 times in roles of progressively narrower scope/salary.
From project manager (80k+) at a large NYC-BASED structured-cabling company to a billing coordinator position (<40k) at his most recent position. With the starting of each new job, him telling me this time it's going to be different and not end in his firing.
It makes me want to put my head into a pillow and scream because he's an intelligent, sociable and kind person but his mind just sits so juxtaposed from what these companies want. However, I can see his mind move beneath his eyes when we converse, and then subsequently lose focus, so it's pretty apparent if you were to meet him. I can see how that translates to poor job performance.
Unfortunately, due to a heavy-handed prescription dosage of adderall when he was young, he's pretty hesitant about trying a new regimen. I've tried pulling him into it by telling him my newly prescribed Semaglutide (Wegovy) medicine will also be a lifelong medication/issue too so we'll be in the trenches together.
