It's my second day of a new job and i'm already getting called a f***ing slacker by my work colleagues. The manager knows I have an ADD diagnosis and that I'm being medicated and the job is in hospitality and is quite stressful. I get the impression that the management team aren't pleased with my work despite this only being my second day of the job. Should I tell my work colleagues I have ADD so that they can give me a break? My employers aren't disability confident.

It sounds like this may be a toxic environment. Start planning your exit

Telling ure work colleagues that ure ADHD is not gonna make them cut u some slack
nobody wants 2 work with someone that doesn't pull their weight especially if they can't even give u pointers incase u use the discrimination card against them
Basically everyone has their own issues so don't be surprised if they don't give a fuck about yours
Why don't u just use the sorry I'm new excuse? I've been using it for the last 9 months
If u find a part of the job that u excel at help others out in that area & hopefully they'll do the same 4 u with the bits u struggle with

Agree completely, speedy. We must be judged on merit not by deficit. On the handful of occasions I've disclosed, it's never helped. People look at you differently once they know and even if they don't, we rob ourselves of any potential esteem gains in the future because we never really know if the plaudits our work receives thereafter are being celebrated or pitied. Disclose on merit or not at all! /rant (sorry)
