“Well, you’re getting paid, aren’t you?”
You gave me a #TooFuckeh flashback.
I was in a similar situation and I was going nuts being bored and worst, as you , no need to do anything, you will still get paid. It's a character test in the game of life. Don't over think it but find a way to maximize return from that already paid time.
I chose to use the Access db app that was installed on all the company pc and built a a system that ran across the servers in our power plants all over the province. My program made it easier for Inspection Engineering's to do their annual outage reports. Once they rely on my system I asked the boss for more money. Of course the boss laugh and said no your not worth it. So I said, then your ok if I get transferred to another department. I was in the Central Technical Service group at NB Power. We provided specialized support to all the power generating stations. So he was ok for me to look for something else.
Long story short, I got moved to the IT Dept and got more money and eventually they paid me enough to take early retirement at 53.
Don't blame the boss if your getting paid to do nothing when you can do more on their time to make yourself more valuable for the next gig.

He’s already given me a raise after I said I could go work for a competitor, lol—or that if I didn’t work, I wouldn’t be losing any money.
My job is easy to replace. My role is to make sure the public is welcomed in the best possible conditions, that everything runs smoothly, and that everything is clean. I’m easily replaceable, but I’m also an advantage to the company: I have a significant disability, and 85% of my salary and employment costs are deducted from their taxes.
For every $1 I earn, the government reduces my disability benefit by $1. If I stop working altogether, my future benefit will be calculated based on my six best months over the last five years.

That story triggers so many more foolishness that I experienced. NB Power offered an Employee Assistance Program. So the boss was thinking if they could put me on sick leave and maybe declare me as 100% disabled than the Insurance company could take care of there problem. Follows the logic that if you have a problem, sometimes is best to promote it. It was a good deal but I was not so disabled. So I went along for some testing and they got a bigger surprise. I got to stay home for 5 year to practice retirement before, as I said, they paid me enough to stay away.
I enjoyed this share so thank you very much for that. Even if you are part AI lol
