[quote=Anonymous]Going to (tactfully) tell my boss that I don't have enough work to do. I've had it. I'm an admin asst. I recently took an almost 2 week vacation and the day I returned, I had NO work to do. The folks I support are busy and don't have time to dish out work...and really I don't think there's much to dish out. The routine work that I do happens monthly and only takes me 1-2 days to finish. So that leaves me with approx 28 days of nothingness. There's no opportunity to help out in other areas, because when a gap appears, they just hire someone to fill the role (thus creating yet another bored person because the workload did not require a FT employee).

I'm so fed up. I'm smart, a college graduate and can do so much more. I know the economy sucks and I should be grateful for a job, but it's truly soul-sucking to have nothing to do at work. Why bother having me come in if I'm just going to web surf all day? I can do that from home.

If they fire me for actually wanting to do more challenging work, then I guess that let's me know this isn't the company for me anyway. [/quote]
