kouhai, of the health issues
meiheadcanon: companies don't filter for university graduates because they don't necessarily believe that you can't learn what you need through other means, but that if you survived a degree program at a high-ranking university, then either you don't have ADHD, or you have figured out how to properly cope with it, whether that is with medications or without them
✧✦Catherine✦✧@mei quite literally this is how it works, it's openly acknowledged often
@mei well people usually don't phrase it this way but the message is the same
Inga stands with 🇺🇦 🇵🇸@whitequark @mei I've heard people (including in leadership / managerial rules) very often phrasing it exactly this way. In Russia at least.
@IngaLovinde @mei huh, managers in russia learned that adhd exists? truly dark times ahead
@whitequark @mei no, they learned to use high education as this kind of signal (residually during the period when specific knowledge obtained from high education was absolutely useless in 99% of cases)
recursive 🏳️🌈@mei I would say that they're also filtering for some amount of compliance with rules and authority in general as well
TommyTorty10@mei I've had this openly stated online and in-person. I've heard professors use it to justify running "bleeder" classes to make students drop out of their program. I think I should also note that those professors are very lonely people.
I also want to say that at least in the program I went through, many people coped with ADHD, but I don't think it was usually properly. Burning yourself out just slowly enough to make it through university will get you through university. It won't be happily or easily or leave you with a future, but you will get the diploma.
