Well, if you find yourself as an individual contributor in some weird vestigial organ, I feel like you have a few choices: * Stay put to collect the money, with the morale cost of feeling like you don't have a purpose and the risk of getting axed if/when the bursting appendix gets removed * Proactively seek a lateral transfer to a position doing something more meaningful * Get out. Find a different employer. The latter two are likely better, but have their own risks.
