You better take it easy and dont let your gra gra be too much. You just started, you are only about a month old and you are complaining, You wait and see, by the time they start giving you work,inshort you would wish for idleness.You would think back and remember the good old days of fine face sitting behind computer .

But on a more serious note, if your pay is o.k. Dont resign. Wait and see if it will be more challenging at least in the next 6 months.Do you know how many people want to be in your shoes that are complaining of too much pressure at work. Meanwhile, make good use of your time,you are connecterd to the net, you can learn a lot of things or even start looking for another job via the net.And by the way werent you given a job description.

I had a similar situation when i first started working.I kept complaining of nothing to do and being bored and i kept wondering if this is what working is all about. But after about 2 months, in short, my eye saw pepper due to work pressure to the extent that i longed for idleness. You can imagine. So take it easy my sister.

@ Poster,

It sometimes happen like that wen you get to a new place of work. wen i joined the coy i'm presently working with, i was very IDLE (in capital letter). It was so bad i approached one of our directors that i have a free flow with and complained to him about d idleness. He replied that i shuld take my time to enjoy the idle period cos a time will come that i will pray to get a break from the job but it won't happen. Honestly, he was right. I culd not even go on my annual leave. I took just 5 days out of my total annual leave this year and it was as if i was gone for 2 months. I culd not even enjoy the leave as i sometimeshave to come to the office to sort out some things.

So my dear, be calm. Whoknows the tasks you are asking for may be coming heavily soon. Hpwever, you can still be looking for another job while you wait. But DON'T LEAVE YOUR PRESENT JOB UNTIL YOU HAVE ANOTHER ONE.

Cheers!

Hello,

I am taking IT in college right now, and I know how angry I would be after I earn the degree if I were ignored and given no challenging work. I think you should stick it out, though. Stay at the job and fight for your rights. Go to the supervisor and report the problem, if he/she won't listen, go to the person above that. Type a letter, don't just talk face to face or on the phone, there has to be something written for proof. Tell the supervisor that you have qualifications and are being ignored and you need the opportunity to earn your pay. If you leave, it may be seen as bad, that you were not reliable, not a long term employee, etc. This may end up giving you problems when searching for another job. Also, talk to some co-workers. See if they had the same problems when they first started working for the company. It may be a test for you, to see if you will run or if you will stay,

I do hope things work out for you, and I hope my advice helps

wonders will never end on this nairaland!!!

Hey, my advise is that you should remain in the employment and make the best of the situation. I was once in a similar situation and I failed to let circumstances around defeat my vision and goals. I seized the opportunity and used it to my advantage - 6+ yrs on, I'm in the same organisation and promoted 3 times.

Good luck and see beyond the negative. A personal motto kept me going "a job is what you make of it".

Guy na waoo How I would love to be in your shoes.

I have to learn 1 million things in 3 weeks.

I just got an I.T position in a World class Multinational coy.

Bros, I got no training but I have 3 weeks to learn

and Boy there is so much to learn

I thank God for my Colleagues they are making the process seamless

But the Pressure is on me to deleiver cos I want to establish my self as early as possible

How can you be complaining when you have a job? I hope you will not complain if you have to leave the office by 10:00 pm just to acomplish a task like some of us.
I'll advice you use this time to develop your IT skills through studying and practice.
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese stop complaining and stick to that job.

@poster

i think it is pretty dumb to ask someone to stick to a job they dont find stimulating and challenging

stick to a job by force becoz of wat?!JOKE

This is the opportunity for you to engage in a business as part time job.

if ur job is not challenging better dam the job and search for another. there are many careers that are more challenging in town.

Get to the field, search , u can always be opportuned to be connected to one

Follow your mind,its part of experience.

Face whatever consequence comes your way and learn from it.
the saying that goes thus "You don't know what you have till you loose it" isn't fiction.

Heed elderly advise and sit up.

that is life experience in challenging economy

It sounds like you are in IT. Use your time there to pick up some skills (IT is constantly changing), brush up your resume and start looking for something else. Get the heck out once you secure something that suits you.

I am not sure what IT jobs are like there, however they are quite challenging here. Because there is always something new to learn everyday.
