Ask for family photos and randomly ping your manager to get attention. A retirement-oriented, attention-seeking manager will add you to the list of reliable, diligent engineers.

Keep appreciating management for random reasons.

Anonymous feedbacks are a big lie. Management has deep roots in the system to identify who provided which feedback.

Do not implement anything; just keep on throwing ideas. Teams feed on ideas from a decade and get promoted without any real work.

Management has identified the pattern of reorg, so no one would actually ask for real work.

PPT-based culture for reflecting impact. Passive managers get them created by engineers and present them to management.

Keep up the bootlicking culture because no one would hire you outside Microsoft. Some companies would want real work.
