talk to people around the office and figure out the mission of the company, figure out how to make peoples tasks easier to complete so they have less work to do, and can work easier throughout the day.
- Random_Person 7y agoIt's not that I don't have work. I have plenty of things I could be doing on a daily basis. It's that there is no direction. No plan. No priority. I just show up and do whatever I do and go home. Once a week, I send a report to my supervisor of my activities for the week. My projects are entirely separate from the other developers here, so it's not really an option for me to go sit with them and co-work because we don't know each other's codebase.
- abledon 7y agoHow does your company make money? Thats the priority. Make whatever they have to do.. to make money.. easier. Also, bring up Silo-effect with your supervisor and let him know you wanna go meet the other team, go take a cookie tin or some beer or whatever to the other team and introduce yourself and hang out 30mins in the morning or something just to get a feel for what theyre doing/pain poitns etc... ask questions to get a feel for how _they_ interpret the organizatiosn priorities and plans... maybe they have an entirely different paradigm/perception.
