Hi guys,

I just started working in this company. It has been 3 weeks. I am getting really frustrated because I don't really have things to do. Everyday I am just listening to mp3, gmail and lowyat.net. It is getting damn sian. But the pay is not bad 2.6k for fresh grad but nothing to do. Please advise? Is this normal??

3weeks still new. give at least 6months to see if u can learn things there.

agree, but don't waste ur time if u got nothing to do.. do research

what job is it?
any vacancies?

If u resign remember to recommend me...

Anyway if u really wants to learn u can learn urself or bug other ppl.

normal lah...dun worry

Talk to your immediate boss on your situation, there could be a miscommunication. Perhaps he had verbally given you an assignment without you realising it. Usually newbies are given some time for basic OJT - On Job Training e.g. reading internal doc, source codes, procedures etc. Anyhow, your boss could be busy attending to immediate and urgent matters before getting you started. As said, talk to him / her.

may i apply at your company as well?
very serious here

normal in malaysia ???

malaysia boleh !!!

Well is this normal ah? My ex-company pay suxs but have so much to do and learn? I have only been in the job market for 5months so still considered freshie haiya so any advise on what to do since so bored everyday?????

Must understand the company structure and get to know more person...this will help you a lot in the future....

woow...this job sounds nice....hahaha...nothing to do and get pay man.....

yea i would to agree with weggoweggo and harrychoo......
u give them some time...later jobs will come in one by one....and that time u may complain cant handle them in time....

chill man....yea.....maybe try this time...get to know all ur colleagues .....make friends around....as u may need their help in the future....

ok man...good luck.....

yo, which company you working for? 2.6k is consider very high pay for fresh grad.

as others say, 3 weeks is still very new. When i join my company, i got some basic support job to do but most of the time free. So i just chat around, get to know more colleagues. This condition last for almost 6 months.

cheer up, you are fresh grad. There must be something in the company you can learn & you wish to learn.

u shd consider urself lucky for getting 2.6k yet can surf net n spam around

Please go around and build your network of contacts. Build a good report with them because you never know who you might need favours from the next time.

Also do more research on the company, find out the work culture around, look out for people who are the reliable ones and check out and learn the various processes in the company such as how to apply for leave, make medical claims or other simple procedures.

Don't waste your entire time by just checking the forums and reading emails....

I am quite sociable. I have done all the things you guys have mentioned. In fact my dapartment is quite small only 10 people. My colleague also nothing to do at the moment just sitting there and listening to mp3 and checking emails........I always drop by her cubicle and chat and she say that is like that lah when job comes it will be busy la but it is normally nothing to do......sian

Nothing to do got pay considered very good already, wait until like me nothing to do and no pay then you know.

if you don't mind can you tell us what is your company name?

Aiyo..man that really normal situation. Some even sit there everyday for one month doing nothing.
