I want to 1 this as a developer, but as a human being I don't want to lower your rep, I'm conflicted.

Very rude... OP was responsible enough to DO his job!
To quote the OP "I want to leave but I can't go because if my manager knows I am free he will assign me a task and I don't want to work right now ?" You consider that doing his job? :confused:

He doesn't seem to be wanting to do it though, so gardening is a nice alternative. "Go green" and all that stuff. Chicks dig it, ya know?

How about those employers who steal from their employees i.e. Late sittings without even a word of appreciations ?? Besides I love my job because I am a developer by choice not by chance.

Leave. I mean the job, you obviously don't like it so look for another one.

Did I mention I didn't like mine. So I left. Just booked a 10 day jolly back to Hungariaorszag before starting the new job. :-D

Will you please stop telling everyone that? He didn't finish his job. He doesn't want to tell his manager that something has been done, because he'll then have to do more work (that he's being paid to do). He basically wants to sit on his arse and do nothing, while he DOES KNOW that there's more work to be done.

It does not. Read it more carefully.

He finished his job.
No he didn't :mad:. His job is to be productive for his employer. As soon as he completes the current assignment, he should ask his supervision for the next. If they don't have one immediately available, he should ask what's the most productive thing he could be doing in the meantime: documenting his past work, learning other products/projects, etc. By the way, in case you're thinking I'm goofing off while I'm posting here on CP (and therefore not being productive for my employer), think again. I've got Visual Studio compiling a project at the moment, and I'm waiting on a product build. Also, I'm waiting for a customer to get out of bed (they're 3 hours behind us, and it's 7:23 a.m. here) before I can debug a problem they're having.

No he hasn't there is still work to do and he is still being paid. I didn't downvote this time BTW.

He did what he was paid to do. Now he is finished.

No. He did a task that he was paid to do; a task does not equal his job. There are other tasks. Tell you what, how about you do a job where you only get paid for the time you spend doing those tasks - do you think you'd like that? Every minute you spend surfing the web, every minute you spend at the toilet, those days you leave early because you finished your tasks - those days you get less money. Doesn't sound attractive, does it?

how about some sincere words of wisdom like telling the manager that I have completed the job and get the new task and tell him that I would start working on it from tomorrow. P.S. That's what I did
