OE dream come true- being a forgotten employee
My manager got fired late last year. I was a high performer in that J2. Since then I was put under someone else who has no desire to be a manager, that said I have no 1-1s with them and literally have done nothing for months on end.
My strategy here was to initially feign that there is mass confusion with my peers about the work we do due to the layoff/reorg, and stretch that excuse as long as possible until he started to believe that there wasn't much work going around for me. Eventually we found that we had no updates to share to each other and I just kept cancelling my 1-1s.
Moral of the lesson is that as an OE'er org changes can be a blessing in disguise. Not longer fear them but embrace them and take advantage. Now I am laying and waiting for a reorg in my J1 so that I can hopefully start downgrading my work there too. And ABA. Thank you OE for changing my financial life!

Lol i love this subreddit
This is solid advice. But bonus points for “turdwookie.” Well done, good sir.
What a freaking great comment, I wish I could upvote it a thousand times!!!
This is pretty great, credit for posting it even if you didn't write it yourself. Just curious, did you get it from someplace?
Edit: Anyone know why my guy decided I was 'a troll'? Serious question. Most confusing interaction I've had on this sub in a while.
He probably read it in a tone you didn’t intend, which is how I read it at first too. It sounded like you were accusing him of reposting it from somewhere else, when he was in fact the original author. Just confusion on both sides I think
Internet interactions do be like that sometimes
