Just do you job and keep your head down. If that includes posting trips on the trip board, so be it.
I think the strongest argument against dropping is the potential to signify lower your A plan payout. If you have at least 9 pay periods between when you are hired and the end of your first calendar year here, it is possible to hit the 815 credit hours required to get credit for a full year of A plan. You can’t get that back by working extra later unless you are able to push back your target retirement date.
