Ask HN: Frustrated and stressed: Maang remote work and new team advice

Hey. This is a throwaway for the obvious. I'm on a team where I have 15 years of experience in the language that's used for most of the work whereas everyone else is 1-3. 1. They don't ask for my advice. 2. I don't have much to work on. I'm supposed to "find" projects and room for improvement but I don't have any way to gather input or ask what the pain points are. I shouldn't bother working on things unless they're going to move the needle otherwise there's no credit toward performance. 3. They barely communicate with me. 4. They talk over me in meetings. 5. They don't ask for my input. 6. They don't give me feedback. 7. They don't ask me for feedback. 8. They skip 1:1 meetings. 9. They don't answer my questions. 10. They treat me like a non person. 11. They treat me like a secretary in the larger company meetings. 12. I keep asking myself: "Why am I here? What's the point?" There's a hiring freeze and my manager's manager said "it will all be better once you meet the team in person." a. What would you do specifically? If you want to know more to give a better answer, please ask. b. Should I just work on my own things, up my skills, learn the environment, and prepare to change teams? c. What's the point of going to work if you're bored and have nothing meaningful to do?
