This may sound like the beginning of a dystopian film, but this is actually real. This employee was hired back in the fall for a large company and has since found himself with no manager, no oversight, and most importantly, no work to do. He has asked for assignments and has kept a log of emails proving his efforts to get more work, but he is convinced at this point that he's just lost in the shuffle.
The best part of it all, though, is that he has still been getting paid for 7 months and counting. As many people in the comments section mentioned, this is clearly the dream job. Our best advice? Read some books, develop a hobby, get a second remote job, and try to keep this thing going for as long as possible. Best of luck to this hero!
