I plan my day around trips to the bathroom and lunch cause they are the only things I have to do during the day. I turned down another position for this and the prospect of another to sit on my ass and do nothing. This sucks!!!! |

(Brain) Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?
(Pinky) Whoof, oh, I'd have to say the odds of that are terribly slim Brain.
(Brain) True.
(Pinky) I mean, really, when have I ever been pondering what you've been pondering?
(Brain) To my knowledge, never.
(Pinky) Exactly. So, what are the chances that this time, I'm pondering what you're pondering?
(Brain) Next to nil.
(Pinky) Well, that's exactly what I'm thinking, too.
(Brain) Therefore, you *are* pondering what I'm pondering.
(Pinky) Poit, I guess I am!"

I am going over lunch, but even if the job is still open its not enought $$ and I really don't know what to do! This place will have work for me but its gonna be another 3 or 4 weeks out and literally I have done 3 SMALL, super SMALL projects since I got here and quite frankly I am better then this just sitting around. I felt like I was more mentally active when I was looking for a jod sitting at home then I am here. Its okay if it is an hour here or there or a day or two but I am about to get onto my hands and knees and beg for anything, its that bad!!!
I have been here since 9:00 AM and have not done one thing!!! |

I know this may sound stupid, but have u talked to ure boss about this ?? Express ure concern and see what he says. Im sure no boss will ever turn down giving their employees more work to do. If anything, he will make u employee of the week. :crazy: |

wow thats really bad! why in the hell did they hire you in the first place if you get paid to do NOTHING??? I thought you said the other job pays similar because the hourly rate is higher?? |

Its a difference of about $200 a week, but at this point I think it might be worth it, who knows. I ask myself the same thing. I am like okay you have me here but to do what. I think that as a whole the company isn't very fast paced and I am used to something much crazier, which is part of the reason I took the position so I could relax for a few months but damn I didn't want to come to a stand still!!! |

i obviously don't know what you do, or what company you work for, but for the most part new employees aren't given much responsibility until the company can trust them to do the work correctly. so maybe you need to wait it out until they can trust you to do the work the way they want it done. |
