I don't do that anymore. For the last year I've been doing the minimum and nothing more. Took two certifications on their dime. Spend my days learning things for my next role. Resume is out there. If they want to cut me, fine. The severance will just be extra. I'm ready.

Nothing this month?

I'm fed up of management through fear. You can scare people into doing two or three jobs for the price of one for a while, but not forever. Eventually we just stop giving a damn and go back to doing just our original job. I 'm at the point where I don't give a damn if they fire me or not. I'm just done.

I'm an id--t for staying this long. Now I desperately want out, but there are no jobs. I'm stuck, thanks in part to my own laziness.

Any info on this?
