Suity update from the coalface.
Day 47 on new gig. Bored. Really bored. Bored titless.
I am babysitting 2 projects. I was hired as a BA. But there is no BA work to do as the delivery is done by delivery partner firms who do all their own analysis.
So I'm bored. Worse still, my direct report was getting on my case this morning about having nothing to do.
It went something like this :
Them : What you up to?
Me : Using my time as constructively as possible.
Them : So you have nothing to do?
Me : You might think that, I couldn't possibly comment.
Them : Have you spoke to the PMs?
Me : Of course, numerous times.
Them : And?
Me : They have nothing for me.
Them : Could you try speaking to them again?
Me : Sure
.......
30 mins later
Me : I spoke to them, nothing changed
Them : In which case could you do xyz
Me : Already done.
Them : Oh.
So now I'm getting the vibe off ClientCos permies who know I am bored and being paid to be bored.
That said, I have tried on numerous occasions to play the good consultant, tell them what's wrong, suggest how it can be fixed, suggest how I could contribute to the cause etc.
Knowledge is power. No one wants to share. No one wants any help. Everyone works in their little bubble, even if that means delivering tulipe.
