New boss already getting micromanagey

Here we go again from one micromanagey boss to another. I started a new job a little under a month ago and my boss apparently doesn’t think I’m doing enough or “communicating” enough.

I’ve reached out to the team and it sounds like they don’t have shit going on either. I’m doing what I can considering you don’t train me or provide any type of direction so I would know what I’m supposed to be doing. And if you think I’m going to go around the company asking to do other people’s work for them, then go ahead and fire me now.

Like it’s fine. There’s not shit to do at the moment and it’s fine. Why do managers think you’re just gonna conjure up work on your own to keep yourself forever busy?

Sorry just wanted to rant.
