I don't know that the more hours you work translate to you working better. As in, I personally tend to do worse the more hours I work cause less sleep, can't think clearly, etc. What has the feedback been on your projects in terms of areas of improvement? I'm assuming it's there if you are on PIP

I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work?
