Consider having just the tiniest bit of empathy for other people. In the end, who cares if they write "was good at work" on your tombstone. Why not try for "helped people when they needed it"? As a severely ADHD person who manages a lot of people and managers, if i saw a manager acting like this, this sort of "don't care at all about anything but the output" is not a thing i would generally reward. Certainly people need to be able to do the job, but there is a different between trying to lift people up and help them do it, and just burning through people to try go get things done.

No, what I'm saying is that the article makes it sound like a boss will fire you for being oblivious about your diagnosis and your illness. Instead, I think that the job needs to be done, and if you aren't able to for whatever the reason is the boss is going to have to find a replacement for you.

  you are looking at it from the perspective of the boss. try looking from the perspective of the worker who want to succeed in a highly regimented world that's artificially constructed that way. if you don't believe the world is artificially constructed in myriad ways which are counterproductive to vast populations, i recommend the book Invisible Women.

      You know, no matter how invincible you feel right now, you may find yourself in the position of needing help one day, and hopefully when that day comes, you don’t simply get a contemptuous “boo hoo”. Do unto others, etc.

There's no point in society except being together and helping each other. Success is also rarely truly individual, even though it's often presented that way.
