You'd be surprised how far actually caring about one's work goes in getting one to work on time, getting the work done properly, etc.

If they are lollygagging around all the time and are just late, yes. If they are constantly getting distracted into things, then perhaps not. I know a person that prior to setting up computer alarms would almost never make meetings because they were distracted by doing their projects and would get completely wrapped up in them. They had more output than any two other people for several months at a time, but would always be late, and their work would peak and valley every few months.

Of course an annual review would show that they were constantly late for work, and would go through spats of missing deadlines. It wouldn't note that they were also often late going home, and had learned how to do every job function in a diverse department.

Kinda bipolar ADHD.

Those aren't ADD symptoms... that's a bipolar disorder, something completely different. But it does go to show that ADD has become a catch-all for a lot of different things that aren't ADD.
