My new job is slowly destroying me .. what can I so? I’m so desperate.

My new job on paper sounded ideal to me. In a category I really enjoy, big global recognisable firm, good salary.

I’ve been there 6 weeks. It’s pretty much fully remote, my entire team is in a different country so even if I wanted to go into the office I’d be alone, there is literally no work to do.

I just can’t do it, I live alone and I don’t want to be sat in my house 24/7, I don’t want to sit staring at a screen with nothing to do, it’s 2am and I don’t want to sleep as it means I’ll be waking up to another day of nothing …

I WFH exclusively and I LOVE it but then I hate people so this is ideal.
My job has got busy now but I preferred it when it was dead. I used the time to do house chores, watch shows, rearrange things etc. I still fit washing and vacuuming in and I love being able to get jobs done while being paid.
Work don't care what we do as long as work is getting done and I'm only doing my own jobs when we have quiet periods.

I'd be using the time to do whatever is a burden on your own time so your own time is full of more fun things.

But the OP doesn't want to do chores 8 hours a day. She wants work which gives her purpose and a level of social interaction. How is it so difficult for some of you to understand? It's not about what you want but what OP needs.
