This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If we ignore the actual stress of a manager suddenly finding out and asking you to report what you have been doing. Probably still possible to bullshit long enough in a big company to recover a normal situation or find another job.

“I’ve been awaiting my next job”

Probably get fire but oh well, easy run until that point.

Nah, when you jam up the machine in an unexpected way, more likely than not they're going to keep it quiet. A manager isn't going to want to go to their boss with a problem no one noticed... It's going to do nothing to benefit them and it'll make their life harder

All you have to do is play dumb. Insubordination is one thing, waiting for orders is just having a job with little autonomy. If you maintain you were just a good little cog waiting to be reconnected to the machine, they're better off sweeping it under the rug.

They might get upset instead, but what are they going to do? Sue you for not being more proactive? They'd probably lose more in legal fees than they could get back from most people
