Working for an asshole

I was hired as Software Engineer for four months in a company. However, my boss put me in a QA position asking me to do basic testing i.e. only doing clicking with a mouse all day to the SAME program. There were no test plans. NOTHING. And the boss just told me to keep on clicking when i suggested new ideas and said he would send me to the software development department after 2 months. Of course, it did not happen and I got bored after a few days and fell asleep sometimes.

And at the end of the 4th month, he told me I was way too suck at testing. He also said he saw me sleeping BUT he thought I should be professional enough to realize that so he did not do anything.

OKAY ... I was not hired to do clickings everyday for 4 months.

What an asshole.

Companies are always taking advantage of interns. I worked as an intern once sealing envelopes for an accounting firm. I was hired as junior accountant. You have to be careful in internships.

The guy might be an asshole but there are a ton of worse jobs.

That job sounds awful. I would fall asleep, too. He should have taken the falling asleep as a sign that maybe you were bored, but many people are dense and non-confrontational, so he probably didn’t want to get into a fight with you about why you were sleeping through your obviously easy job. When you’re miserable, you should tell your boss instead of falling asleep. It works out much better for you since not only were you not caught sleeping, but you also showed initiative in asking for more things or at least more engaging things to do. The new ideas and suggestions were a step in the right direction, but some people are not as quick and we’d like them to be, and sometimes you just have to tell them exactly what is wrong and exactly what they can do to make it better as you see it. and then again, sometimes they’ve got nothing for you to do, and you just have to live with a boring internship for a few months. good luck with future internships.

I love my work, there a job that can make some people happy, really, but you got to choose sometime either love or money. sometime you get both ^^ (i did)

so dont bother stick it if u dont like keep looking it not the end of the world.

Even if it is boring, you need to do it and do it well. Falling asleep is grounds for dismissal. There are plenty of programming jobs out there. Pack your bags and move across the country to the job you really want.

You should have asked for a contract stating your specific job functions.

Crap job for sure but a boss that lets you sleep? Where do I sign?

Why don't you outsource your clicking job; get paid to do jack, and start online gambling.

Before my current boss hired me, she actually told me that I would most likely be doing nothing all day. 2 months later, she wasent kidding, but at least she was honest about it.
