Not really. Once HQ started to get involved, they seemed to perceive me 
as some kind of incompetent moron [which, oddly, is how I perceived them 
- based on actual *evidence*], and they seemed keen to take as much 
control away from me as possible...

If it were noticed that I was only pretending to work, I'd probably be 
fired on the spot. That doesn't mean that my work is critical to meeting 
deadlines - it's just that, why would you pay somebody to do nothing?
