#coasting

Personally, I am 3+ years into coasting as Cisco. I work maybe 15 hour weeks prompting AI & making up nonsense to make myself look busy, and just abuse the sh-t out of the work from home policy or coffee badge into the office and sit around watching YouTube videos all day.

Best part, I've gotten 2 medium raises and a promotion. Never even remotely close to being put on a PIP. Life is great, really my ideal way out of here is winning the LR lottery.

Tell me your story about your finesse

Since there is a post around location strategy, what about groups having to be together?

Any news or updates for co-location strategy?

I'm guessing that ML has continued his practice of short work days and long weekends - no work ethic.

Come on guys, what a joke.
Plano office is basically a ghost town of productivity. Hardly anyone actually working.

My entire team? Mostly H4EAD housewives from Telangana who’ve been here 10+ years and still have zero clue how the software actually works. Their real expertise? flawless coffee badging 3 days a week. Ethics? Work ethic? Initiative? Bro, those words left the building decades ago.
Everyone’s just coasting, collecting paychecks, and pretending this circus is sustainable. In the AI era… how long is this absolute clown show supposed to keep running? Seriously, someone tell me. I’m dying to know.

Whenever there are talks about cuts, it's always the exceptional performer, the ones who delivered at critical times are on the chopping block instead of the ones coasting breezily.

The reason???
Majority of slackers (you know who you are) won't be affected by the change, but there could be a few who will think this as a wake up call and step up.

And being a top performer, the corporate would think you'll land on your feet somewhere else even after being cut off.

That's a classic tale tell strategy, after 16 years at fidelity and close to retiring, that's one hard but honest truth

This writing has been on the wall for longer than a minute. Relocate if required and RTO or risk losing your employment if you choose to gamble. It is a personal choice. It isn't as if you first heard about it only yesterday. You will find no sympathy from AT&T if you are unhappy about the position you find yourself in today and continue to refuse to accept responsibility for yourself and your family. Coasting along when you should have been adapting and planning.

Used to grind: stay late, extra projects, crush it. Reward? Emoji thumbs-up, 2% raise (lol inflation), then piled with more work.
Meanwhile minimum-effort crew dips at 5 and skates by fine.
Loyalty’s a one-way scam; hard work = free labor.
Fu-k going above and beyond. Act your wage, do the bare minimum, guard your sanity.
Who else quit hustling and started coasting?

ever since covid ive been doing the /r/overemployed thing but with target being j1 bc of health insurance since the layoffs in october my manager has been on my behind nonstop expecting more and more work to be done im slowly detaching from my role and pushing back sayin things like itll get done when it gets done i kinda want to get laid off on the next round and get severance but who knows when thatll be until then im gonna keep coasting and attend meetings i am required in and skip the ones im not and just have the mouse jiggler running do the IT computer ppl have anyway to tell that im not really doing anything for most of the day?

again just want to survive until next layoff with severance by doin bare minimum and cashin checs

I regret every extra minute and every bit of effort I ever put into this job. Stellar performance meant absolutely nothing in the end. At my next job, if I’m lucky enough to find one anytime soon, I’m becoming the master of coasting.

Dear verizon,
I'm not taking my severance. I'm going to take a different job. I'm about to coast. I'm going to use you, I'm going to get my degree in engineering using your tuition assistance. I'm going to no longer be a top performer. I'm going to do just enough to keep using you. I don't trust you anymore. I'm going to tell people not to get verizon, I'm going to go out of my way to not have people switch. You sc--wed over so many people and you are taking advantage of people's emotions during the holidays. You're about to pay for me to leave and I'm no longer going to be your top performer. Fu-k you.

Anyone else feel like just coasting until next Thursday’s announcement? Not motivated to do much until I know one way or the other.
