re: How to tell your employer you are bored in your job

If your situation allows and they seriously won't give you more work, try self-improvement either in your field or another.
Try DuoLingo and learn a language.
Maybe try coding tutorials online, etc.
You will regret not using this time to make yourself, at a minimum, more interesting if not more valuable.
Good advice here. There was a period of a few years where I found myself "bored" at work. I used that to my advantage to boost the credentials on my resume. During my "downtime" I ended up acquiring a MBA degree as well as a Project Management Certification. All which was paid for through my company's continuing education benefits. I did most of classwork and studying while sitting right here at my desk here on the job.
Now my workload has increased and I don't have time for that type of self-improvement stuff. If something similar happens in the near future where I'm just sitting around "twittling my thumbs", I already know what my next move will be to go after the next thing that will help me move towards a better job.
You have to stop looking at the glass half empty. Take this free time as a gift to improve your situation.
