I know a couple of engineers who've done nothing for 3 to 6 months on end. Then they get transferred to another team, rinse-and-repeat. One person I know did this for a little over a year before getting laid off. He literally did about 1 day of work a week!

- kodah 4y agoIn organizations I've been in it takes a while to file or lay someone off. It's generally easier to get them transferred out somewhere where they're miserable instead. Some people don't find those jobs terribly miserable though and are finally laid off when "value" and "impact" decisions are made. This is why I chuckled so much when Big Head got sent to the roof.
- icedchai 4y agoYeah, I laughed at that part of Silicon Valley, too. The "miserable job" only works if the person plans on working. For many, you can just continue slacking off, coming up with delays/blockers, and dragging things out indefinitely.
