Probably should make your new job to fix it and when you can't fire you.

Don't you have an IT department? I'll head over there for $300k/year to start.

They do, but the company underwent a massive data migration this weekend. I'm a relatively new employee without any key responsibilities at the moment, so I'm just a low priority for any of the post migration hiccups.

Nah, haven't been for awhile now. I just started as a controller of a subsidiary of a Fortune 250 company. Which is why I'm still very much low-priority to get fixed as I really don't have any established duties currently. They are handling IT issues that are more operationally critical first.

And I'm just here collecting cash to do literally nothing.

So you just sit and do nothing? That's so dumb. How can there not be any extra computers?

Even though that sounds nice, part of me would hate it. When things are really slow at work I find it kind of excruciating. You can't truly kick back because you're still at work, but then there's nothing to pass the time. I like a balance of some work and some down time.

Yup, the director of finance is completely aware as is my accounting team.

It's a log-in issue not a computer issue. Any computer I would get on would have issues because for whatever reason my user log-in isn't working. Since all my work is permission and access based they can't just give me a generic log-in on a random computer.

And it is extremely boring.

Oh I see. I would think that would be a quick fix. Is it really taking IT 2 days to do it?

I have completely dusted and cleaned my office. The windows were really rough. I might go out and buy some plants to set in the windows today.

https://sites.google.com/site/forgottenemployee/

I started coming in later, wearing blue jeans on Mondays, testing my limits. I take 25 cigarette breaks a day, come back into my air conditioned office, dim the lights, and browse the internet in a half-comatose state until I determine that it is time to pack up for the day. Old copies of Baseball Weekly adorn the mohogany desk, and reams of paper lie in and around the unattended trash bin, each covered with random drawings of stick figures and jet fighters. I often roam the hallways with a piece of paper and a mug of coffee, exchanging pleasantries and talking about the weather and equally mindless topics with my co-workers. I go to meetings, and other managers gaze with reverence at my presence - I am never invited, but to those who know not what I do, I am respected and welcomed.
Sadly this person will have terminal cancer within the next two years.
