What of my job?

Over the past few months, a new company president and executive churn has made something clear-- my business org, while valuable, is no longer a strategic area of investment. My job then changes. I can either align with the new plan, or fight for every dollar while my org is nickel and dimed to death.  I'm not interested in these discussions. At heart, I'm an engineer who is good at getting others to work together. My career grew from that core. I have never had a passion to debate budgets and corporate strategies. 

I've decided I'm leaving after the midterm elections next year. Maybe it's a retirement. Maybe it's some time off before I transition to something else.

With that decision made, my interest in my job has dropped. I'm still doing the day-to-day tasks. But I've stopped seeking out and participating in the larger discussions. What's left of the work swings between boredom and stress. 

I'm wondering if the executives will even notice? The executive churn has caused the executives to disengage. As long as the revenue keeps coming in and unless there is an emergency, they may not even be aware. There are fires elsewhere in the company and it's sucking up their time.

Your Executives sound like typical Corporate Management... Which is a Pity for folks of your caliber... Piss Poor leadership on their part.
