I’ve been in an entry level position for 2.5 years. I am not pushing for promotion. If I’m hitting utilization targets, am I at risk of layoff from being in this role too long? I work for a huge firm

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. 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? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?

I was written up over all this last week, fired this week. There’s a lot more to this but I think it’s because the DM doesn’t like me.
