Are any of you neurodivergent and have difficulty fitting in at work?

I started a new job and ended up in a meeting where I was told that I was essentially wierd and that they didn't like when I worked too hard or made them feel like I could do their job better than them.

lol this happens often to me, so I am trying to figure out where I should work, so that I have something to do.

I actually advise against working too hard. Going above your station and doing too much is a bad thing for the team and your boss. Doing work well, devising processes and getting them written down will help everyone and assure your view of competency.

Working extra hours, skipping breaks and becoming objective oriented can be really mentally draining and come with certain expectations your boss simply can't meet like remuneration or extra leave. By means outside of their control of course. In my view, I get paid 8 hours a day to work so I do 8 hours of work. I priorities my objectives and know what I can drop.

Its super damn hard to but... It can be learned.
