Company got bought out. There were so many managers and ppl that they couldn't follow who was actually doing what. After being given busy work for a month. After I finished it, i was then told to monitor my busy work until I was told otherwise. They forgot about me.
I got so bored. I made friends with the janitors. I learned if you parked in a certain area you could leave without being seen. For the next 6 months I would clock in, say hi to a bunch of ppl while avoiding management, and leave to meet up with friends or do whatever, until lunch where I'd socialize(my alibi). I'd spend the next 4 hours reading, learning, on my phone and walking around the office looking at who might need a break and willing to talk.
Unfortunately, I had to leave for a higher paying job. When I left, the manager gave me a glowing recommendation letter. They had no idea what I did, but nothing ever broke so I must have been doing my job.
