So my job is based on productive/billable hours and I’ve finished all of my work for now. Anyone have any advice for what to do about this? Feels like a dangerous spot to be in because I can’t see why my boss won’t just decide he no longer has use for me if there’s no more work to be done (I’m looking for other jobs but it’s an absolute desert out here). Seems like a dream in some sense but absolutely dreadful in others
Ive asked others and they’ve said I should’ve slowed down, but I don’t think they realize it’s not about how fast you complete your work, it’s about getting your deliverables sent on time. And the job market is hell rn so I’m freaking out :(
There is a speed assumed with getting work done. If you are ahead of that speed without major issues, you will generally be considered good enough. Also, your boss may have more work for you, you might not know it yet.
