I started working for an employment agency 6 weeks ago. It's a 6 month temporary contract w/ potential to go permanent, with one of the largest banks in the world.
I'm fully remote. I met with my manager via zoom on the first day. Other than that ive had basically 0 contact with my mansger. Ive watched some BS training videos (at My leisure) and attended random meetings (with hundreds of people), so I'm not obligated to participate, in fact no one knows whether I do or don't attend these meetings.
My manager has yet to assign me any real work, or even emailed me. I'm getting paid a decent salary (>$80,000). My manager has about 30 people under him, including 8 people in similar roles to myself (temporary contractors).
Maybe my manager is too busy and I've even forgotten about? Maybe they don't expect me to do any work for the first few months and instead just watch training videos and attend meetings ? Maybe my manager gets paid more for managing more people and doesn't care what I do ? Regardless, I don't plan on staying here forever , and could care less if I got promoted to full time. What would you do ? How do you think this plays out?
