Hello Fishes,
Most of the managers treat the employees serving NP as their enemy and there are high chances of argument with them. Any thoughts on what worst they can do with employee who is serving NP but have good track record previously.

This is your ramp up period. You should be meeting pertinent stakeholders and making contacts in different depts; learning your company’s policies, contracts, and playbooks; finding inefficiencies or problems that can be solved, etc.
The work will come soon enough and you’ll be glad you had prepared properly
It can be very enlightening at this point to learn the business from the ground up. When you have some spare time, volunteer to help out for a few hours in shipping and production or whatever else they might assign to an intern. It makes the rank-and-file feel like you are part of the team, makes department managers aware of who you are, and may make you a little less clueless later on when someone from those departments asks for your assistance to resolve a problem.
The “clients”/business just hasn’t found you yet. It can take a while to ramp up in house, 3 months is nothing.
Coast for now. Your time will come. It ebbs and flows.

Dear god man/woman! Enjoy it. Work will come (sometimes) and other times it won’t and you don’t have to give a shite—that’s the beauty of in house.
The position has been budgeted/approved and no one really gives a crap if you’re “busy”. That is, as long as you get the work done when it needs to be done. And NEVER let them know you’re “slow”. Always look busy-be careful turning things around too quickly. They’ll appreciate you doing them a favor/going the extra mile when you turn stuff even tho you’re “busy”. Play the game and you’ll be fine long term.
I’d imagine this is okay and what is considered “normal” outside of a big law environment? But I have only been in big law so wouldnt really know firsthand and curious to see what others say…
And of course, you earn more money in a law firm.
I earn twice what I made at my last firm 😬

Don’t know what others are on, but the work will not “find” you. Of course there are busier times. But generally, in-house is more chill. No point in going to look for work, since you’re a cost center, not a money generator.
Of course, if you’re doing nothing, it’s bad too. You still got to be doing some stuff here and there, but I generally still get random e-mails here and there with nonsense to keep me occupied, even when there’s nothing to do.
Yeah I have enough to “look” busy for now…so I’m not stressing. Just so different (but better) than firm life where I knew I’d have to make up the time.
