See the post here: The post drew plenty of advice, with several people urging him not to remain passive and to proactively approach his colleagues about ongoing projects.
The developer said he had already spoken to his manager multiple times and planned to give it a few more days before taking further action.
One user advised him to simply ask his teammates about their work rather than wait for an assignment while also using his free time to learn. He added that he had repeatedly asked his manager for work and reminded him that he was available but had yet to receive an assignment. One user wrote, “Always go find managers ask them for work. Never wait. If you wait you get laid off.
Another user commented, “Kind of same it’s been 8 months since I joined and they only give me very small small work and ask me to study bruh I want to learn by working.
The developer said he was already making the most of the downtime by revising existing skills and learning new ones. The discussion also struck a chord with other professionals who said they had experienced similar situations. A third user joked, “So free salary with no work?”
