New software developer finishes a major project early but is left with no work for weeks, spending days bored in his cubicle and wondering if he’s the only one paid to do almost nothing: “Seriously, is work like this for everyone?”

• But there are only so many times he can ask for more work, yet the distribution never seems to ‘last’…Some people could argue that he's living the dream, but feeling like you have no purpose at work will often override the temporary buzz of being stress-free. So we recommend looking elsewhere for that ‘purpose’ if his company is unable to prove his need…Because the next thing you know, they could turn around and fire him for lack of independent initiative.
