This is happening to me right now. I was hired in October for one of the biggest property owners in the world. The person that hired me, her position was eliminated the week before I started. I was brought around the office by someone from a different department. I’ve been sitting in an office behind the fired lady’s office all alone for months. Doing literally nothing. I’ve asked around, I’ve emailed people. NOTHING. I show up 3 days a week, “work” from home 2 days a week; and get paid every Friday. I haven’t said a word to anyone in months. I’m riding the wave till it crests. I don’t know how it’s possible that no one gives me any assignments or even really emails me and yet here I am.
