AI techie hired by MNC gets no work, internet warns him

A newly hired AI developer at a multinational company has sparked a debate online after saying he has not been assigned any work since joining. In a Reddit post, the techie said he had shared his resume, discussed his technical experience, and attended team update calls, but his manager asked him to wait until work is available.

The internet responded with warnings. "Always go find managers ask them for work. Never wait. If you wait you get laid off," one user commented. Another advised: "Never wait just go ask… Also study in your free time." The developer replied that he had already pinged his manager multiple times and was using the idle time to revise and learn new things.

Some commenters shared similar experiences. One said they spent eight months receiving only minor assignments. Others pointed out the upside of a free salary. The developer's reply captured the unease: "It's good until it isn't."
