Ask HN: How to do the bare minimum when not valued at work?
2 by mlr22 | 6 comments on Hacker News.
I am a senior individual contributor in tech. I got the signal that I am being managed out. However I am still giving my best as I am honest and passionate. Only consolation is that, a lot of colleagues are also being managed out. (The product is making good money though). The environment has become very toxic with a lot of politics across all the levels. To make matters worse, I am working on some legacy technologies. I know that sooner or later I will be laid off. Questions 1. Have you been through situation? How did you overcome? 2. How to implement the do the bare minimum?. I am finding it difficult. In fact, I keep checking office mails all the time. 3. What should your strategy be?. (I have been playing around with new tech though. But there are way too many fields in tech). Searching for another job is not an option at this point. I would rather wait for them to fire me.
