I'm extremely quiet at work and don't really have any work friends at least in my department (helps stifle drama), yet am consistent with my productivity, have clear ticket queues every day or they're in a status where I'm waiting for a response from another engineer. I've had my manager tell me in 1:1's that people report me for doing nothing all day except listening to music. I've been here 3 years.

I'm content with just sitting here and doing this job for now and get paid enough to live at my means, so I make no attempts to get a promotion where I'll have much more work and stress, and make little attempts to go above and beyond. I just stay consistent and I'm seen as a free loader by some. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯



How can this be? Do you have regular stand-up meetings?


They were taken away from us around a year ago. They were very beneficial, but leadership said they 'were a waste of time'. Our team has suffered with communication and staying on track with problem issues since. Oh well though. I just keep doing the same work.
