what I should do ?

You are wrong. The boss always invents something more to do. He is not paid for that! He is paid to do what he already has done! Try to understand: you are paid to do something in 8 hours and you finish it in 7; the remaining hour is yours, not boss'

I'll metion that to my MD, no doubt I'll be collecting the belongings from my desk. Get real you contracted to work x hours a day, if you finish 1 task you start a new task - simple - at least in the west.

He finished his job.
You're like a dog gnawing on a bone aren't you? Perhaps you need to look up the definition of job here, and see that he finished a task and doesn't want another one.

I had a meeting yesterday about contract work, still got to think about it and check numbers, not something to rush into.

I've been in talks since December. It's a good role set against a company plan for taking a product to market within the year. There is already a /working/ prototype so I get to rip out it's intestines with a blunt knife and fill it all with straw before propping it all up with some clever use of CListCtrl.

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

0. Grow up. 1. Tell your boss that he's not providing enough of a challenge for you. 2. Learn how Liquid Nitrogen has GOTTEN to be so important. 3. Eat a BACON samich. 4. Re-write the Weven UI using only CListCtrl.

Please. Go and tell your boss this. We look forward to you spending more time here in the lounge once he fires you. If you finish the task in 7 hours, then you have 1 hour to start a new task. You are paid to do a job. This is not a complicated concept. This is not rocket science. This is not even Economics 101. If you are paid for 8 hours work, then you are expected to work for 8 hours.

Sorry mate. As an employer, I find this attitude really, really offensive and I don't want to encourage any bad ideas among the troops.

No he wasn't. He's just done a task - his job does not consist of a single task. The employer has every right to expect that he works for the entire time that he is there. Suppose he finished the task after half an hour, does this mean that he should be entitled to seven hours of scratching his navel?

Of course. If he is that good! The boss wants the job done. He estimates it to last 8 hours. One employee finishes it in 10 hours, so he stays over time. Another finishes it in 5 hours! Congrats! He leaves early! It is the bonus for being proficient!

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?

It sounds very attractive. Me and my colleague are given similar tasks. I finish it early. He can not. Why should I be treated the same? It is obvious that I am superior.

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.

You are plain wrong. He does what he is paid for. He should work more if he is paid more.
If either one of you were my employee, you wouldn't last long. I would terminate your employment as soon as your poor work ethic became apparent. If your employment contract specifies you are paid a salary for working 40 hours a week, I expect you to be doing your assigned tasks for each and every one of those 40 hours. If you're an hourly employee, I don't expect you to claim you worked 40 hours when you only worked 37. In either case, once you complete an assignment, you should ask for the next. I shouldn't have to baby you along, asking if you're done before I give you another one. If I don't have an immediate assignment for you, I expect you to be doing something which is of benefit to the company. If you're not meeting these requirements, you're a thief.
