Overview

Have you ever replied-all to the entire company with a snarky comment meant for your work bestie? Have you ever fallen asleep during a quarterly review? Have you ever missed a $50,000 grant deadline because you thought Wednesday was next Wednesday? Marcus has. In fact, he has done all of them. For twelve years, Marcus navigated the corporate world fighting an invisible battle, accumulating seven jobs and nearly as many firings by age thirty-four. He bought the expensive planners. He read the productivity books. He tried harder than anyone knew. Yet, he spent his career feeling lazy, broken, and fundamentally unemployable. Professional Chaos is an unvarnished, hilarious, and heartbreaking memoir of a career spent swimming upstream against undiagnosed ADHD. It chronicles the disasters-from the tech support job where passwords vanished from his memory, to the marketing agency where time-tracking was torture, to the freelance attempt that nearly bankrupted him. But this is more than a story of failure. It is a story of redemption. Following a mid-thirties diagnosis, Marcus discovers that the problem wasn't a lack of effort-it was a neurological incompatibility with the traditional workplace. This book offers a blueprint for the life that follows diagnosis: the medication trials, the therapy, and the messy process of building a career that works with a neurodivergent brain rather than against it. For the quiet quitters, the involuntary job-hoppers, and anyone who has ever sat in an HR office sweating through a ""performance improvement plan"" meeting-this book is your mirror. You are not lazy. You are not broken. You just need a different way to work.
