I’m curious if other people just do trainings all the time, or log in to their computer and leave the room to do personal stuff 😂

Email HR/staffing asking for work every Monday and save the emails to your computer (so you don't get fucked come review time). Besides that do a lot of "working from home" since you don't really have a person or team that you need FaceTime with.
