▲ 122 r/ADHD

Hey, I am diagnosed and medicated and started a new job recently, this is my 5th week.
On week 2 of training my manager had a meeting to let me know I am not progressing because I make a lot of mistakes and take too much time on one case. A little about the job it’s a lot of data entry and analysis and adjusting what you’ve entered depending on your conclusion. I made checklists, i try to double triple check, but I always end up missing something or making a silly mistake. Sometimes it’s like I’m on auto pilot and don’t even check my checklist until later I’ll remember something and go back but by them it was already reviewed by my manager. I try to be as fast as possible and reduced my time by 90% now but mistakes don’t end, it could be a simple thing but that ends up affecting other things. I have scolded many times (I hate it) and I’m just trying to be fast and accurate but apparently I can only do one. Or it’ll be something that I was told and then I’ll just forget about it. I was asked if I am being distracted but no I don’t leave my desk and I’m just typing non stop. My trainer told me to slow down take breaks in between, my colleagues say that I’m too quiet and don’t chitchat or that they see me focused and don’t want to bother me because everyone is making small talks except me cause I want to get it right and hit the target per day.
Now this has escalated to HR and the director because this is week 5 and no improvement and I’m slowing training…. And next week we’ll have another meeting to fup and see if I’ll be terminated
Fyi: never had this many issues being accurate before, I feel like I’m just stupid I don’t understand how I am missing some stuff, I’m going crazy to the point I can’t find my wedding ring, I am trying but I feel like I’ll be fired by next week so I need backup but don’t want to go through this again so what job do you have that you think is compatible with your ADHD
