This kind of thing happened to me when I signed up at my current company: there is a long, boring and frustrating procedure to open a new account on the locked shitty windows 8 on which we work, then another to have a gitlab access, another to have a Jira access... You can easily wait 2 weeks, more if there isn't any computer ready for you (yes, you read well, they think about buying a new computer when you're here, not when you get hired)
So I read the doc the first two days, then, since no one could do anything for me, I git cloned one of my projects and started to work on it for two more days. At least I finished it faster than expected -
After a reorg I was left with a job that required me to load one file into a database once a month. I quit soon thereafter, as it was just horrible feeling like the setup to some bad joke or dystopian story.

kunashe19867yIt sounds like a good deal but it really isn't. Sooner or later your employer will come to collect from you.
You go to work, partly to avoid being in debt. but you're putting yourself into debt of a different kind - perhaps even worse than the financial kind.
Resist the inclination to be comfortable with this.

practiseSafeHex14I GOT A JOB OFFER!!! IM OUT OF THIS FUCKING HELLHOLE!!! 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
Two months in my new job, no task assigned to me yet. Not even one. There's been a budget reallocation, and the team just got dissolved. Will probably be moved to a new team (or not?). Part of me enjoys the free time I'm getting (I get to work on my side projects) but it's kind of depressing that I can't prove to the company how much I love building things while at the same time helping the company. 😔
