Anon playing a dangerous game with management.
It's all well and good until they find you, figure out what you've been doing (or rather not doing), then fire you and attempt to sue you for damages.
CYA. Make at least some attempts to be noticed. If they do notice you, at least you got a little bit of easily excusable free time - if they don't, now you get the easy life AND a paper trail so they can't say "why didn't you try to tell us".
I heard many similar stories like that from friends and it's always a bit shocking to me. I'm no go getter or anything, i run my own business, but even then, i don't want to work more than i really have to. But i just really can't imagine what that must be like.
I had a friend who worked as a static engineer. He then worked for a company that made bearings for big machines, which wasn't his line of work but he liked it. The company got bought by another company who did something different and he just fell through the cracks. At first he was super anxious and just pretended to draw on his drawing board and had excel open on his computer. But no one cared, a lot of people switched jobs and suddenly he didn't really know anyone anymore and after a few month he told me that he doesn't really know what his job is.
disclaimer: I'm not a bootlicker, all's fair game for how you earn your keep
but there's no way a competent person finds themselves not knowing what their job role is
that being said: a dubs a dub I guess ?
Have you ever worked in corporate?
