Unless you are already a brand name it is harder than ever to get your novel published. But it is easier than ever to release it to the world; market forces will then decide.
Re-configure the cubicle/bunker. See life in the cubicle/bunker as boot-camp training to make you as tough as you can be. Relish it, it's not for life.
Wander the grounds. Get out of the cubicle and make yourself known. Don't hunker down in the cubicle trying to avoid hassle: you'll just be be forgotten. Volunteer for stuff and do amazing work. Maybe somebody will give you a job in the library or the hospital from where it is a whole lot easier to escape.
Do what Jason Bourne would do. Never let anyone at any stage faze you. Look around and there is always a solution, always a way e.g. out of the the crappy meeting in which you are sitting.
Get a map from those who have escaped. Others have done it. What did they do? How did they do it? Copy the excellent strategies and tactics of practitioners.
Do press-ups every 45 minutes. When your opportunity comes you will need to run hard, scale walls and swim in cold water. Get and stay very fit indeed. Now.
Be beholden to nobody and no thing. They are wearing you down with the Zoom meetings: you know that. Anyhow: look what it has done to the jailers.
Look out of the windows. Sure they are sealed and need a good wash. But look beyond that, out at the horizon: that's your goal. Not the next deep PPT deck.
