Does anyone in a generic office else feel like they muddle through the day? I have a lot to do and it has no clear deadlines. Nothing has clear standards. I have too many emails to answer. I could work for 2 hours extra at the end of each day and only a moderate amount would change.

I have to keep sending email reminders to ask people to do stuff. I have responsibility without authority.

My job isn't awful. I get credit for work that other people do. But everything has this nebulous feel. And my manager's perception of me decides my final performance evaluation. I have been pigeonholed as an autist so I will never rise high.
