Haven’t done any real amounts of work in 3 weeks, was hired remote and all my would be bosses left before I started a few months ago. I keep asking around for more work but I don’t think anyone knows I exist to resource me. I’m still getting paid and it seems like I’m set to just float around doing nothing but looking for another job until they realize I’m still on the books.

Yea I’ve been around, I know what the “slow times” feel like when you’re on a brand that doesn’t do holiday or prep for the start of the year. This is just no one knows I’ve been hired haha

As tempting as it is, don’t just ride it out. Your reputation will never recover. Make sure your resourcing people are aware. But if you’ve raised a hand and still nothing, what can you do.

Yea at this point with my attempts it’s everyone else that should consider their reputation. Such a weird time. Feel like everyone is embarrassed that I’m there for no reason but are keeping me around, when they could have just been upfront with me since things changed drastically between my offer and start date

Okay, hear me out… Find another job AND keep this one, pull two salaries.
