I work at a large company as an entry level swe. I was hired as part of a new grad program, and did a few months of training before starting my role.
I am not currently on a team. I was told they would be announcing new teams in fall but nothing has happened.
I have been told to do trainings, but there is only so much of them I can do. I have been given a simple project, but I completed it in 3 days. I contact people about expanding it but they don’t reply to me, they’re too busy. My relationships at work are basically nonexistent, because I don’t really work with anyone.
I mentioned that I would like to take on more projects but was told to be patient. I am starting to dread going into the office, the days are just so long. Should I keep waiting or should I look for something else? I don’t know how I can make this bearable. I still am very lucky to have a job, but this is starting to wear on me.
Bro has the optimal job and is upset. I know so many people who can’t fathom enjoying an easy job and it’s like more for me

The best part of this is being forced to go to an office to do nothing as a programmer, possibly the most work from home compatible job on the planet. This person could be exercising and socializing and going on vacations but is insteas forced to sit at a desk for no reason other than protocol and corporate control.
They’ll get the axe in a few months when the company decides AI can do the jobs of 100 programmers with just 1 person overseeing its slop.
Oh noes no relationships at work! The agony of no workplace drama! The putrid existance of playing games and browsing the net while getting paid. Woe is thee!
Pretending to work can be very tiring though, sometimes more so than actually working.
