Careful I admitted I was bored doing purchase orders of parts (supposed to be an engineering position) in a previous job and the manager went nuts, got in multiple shouting matches with me ("this project is the most interesting work that's come along in a while and yoooou're bored! I'm shocked, just shocked"). Hah. Wrong thing to say to me - if what I was doing then was supposedly better than their baseline normal, suddenly I had no regrets about quitting.
- Swannie 15y agoIndeed. One project I had a boring task with nebulous requirements, and said as much: "I find this hard to know when I'm done, and progress is slow. What's next when I am finished". The response? "More of the same!" said with a s* eating grin. :-( At this point I pushed harder for my internal transfer. I later found out this line manager was "let go". (He'd basically taken all the interesting work for himself, the whole team productivity was bad when I moved.).
