I'd love some advice please.
I've started a new job and on paper it's a great one. Good variety and pay, great work/life balance and nice wider team (but they do a different role).
My issue is my boss's communication isn't ideal. I can go all week with very little input. This would be fine if I was well established but I'm only a few weeks in and I feel like it's taking a long time to learn anything as I'm not exposed to anything. I've been given a few tasks and lots of reading but they're pretty low level tasks and the job is predominantly WFH, as are most other people, so there's not much opportunity to integrate myself.
She regularly complains about her level of work but she won't give me anything significant. She seems stressed and overwhelmed and has expressed that she doesn't have the capacity to manage me in the way she'd like to. I totally understand that, but I guess selfishly I'm just feeling a little underwhelmed about the job and with some regret about moving there. I loved my last job, it was just badly paid.
What shall I do?
I've asked for work and offered my support. I've expressed and interest in getting involved in new areas.
Any tips?
