Bench in Cognizant is stressful, it's not even been two days in bench , multiple unrelated projects asking for interviews, TSCs not allowing to reject projects and Bench Policies are shit in CTS. There is this by weekly call from Bench head who speaks like this is the end of the world. I think half the people just get stressed out like me, this is from a SA think about PA and As.

I totally agree with you.
And why should we be in office for whole day, being on bench in CTS is extreme level torture.
