The hero's journey of getting laid off

Slowly reduce your output relative to others.

Stop picking up extra work just because you can do it.

Start working less hard (spend a few hours a day on hacker news, for example).

Sadly, the above often results in more promotions and being considered more important, for some reason. I can't explain it.

Maybe 'They're so busy, they can't do it any faster / can't take on any more work.' ?

Also, much work is either useless or actively bad - making any change can break something. Only doing the highest priority changes is the right way to do some jobs.
