At B4, if you did barely any work throughout the week, could you get away with it? What are the actual consequences? A poor scatterplot rating that is barely related to performance anyways? Missing a randomly distributed bonus? How low is the threshold for not getting fired?

I have found the sweet spot is to aim for the 2nd highest possible performance tier. You have to push yourself a bit, but you don’t burn yourself out, but you are still seen as above average. Your bonus won’t be materially less than the performance tier above you, and you’ll still progress in your career.

Well I’m at a point where I’m going to refuse any work that doesn’t interest me till I’m fired - that’s how little I care. Was rolled off a project for not performing (did it on purpose) and have been on the bench over two months getting paid.
3 years of me being put in something I don’t care about - I’ve found 3 projects that interested me and were ready to take me on and EVERYTIME I’m asked to go on another project
Even being on neck for 2 weeks is fine but choosing a project I like outside my op isn’t lol

OP, what level are you? The threshold for not getting fired probably is pretty closely correlated to how important the people are who you deal with on a day to day basis. From your post it doesn’t sound like you’re talking to anyone over there on a day to day basis though. Lol
