Hi all,

Since I joined kpmg india, I am on bench.
I requested reporting manager to allocate me to some project. He instead, made me backup in an ongoing project with no tagging and continuously asking me to take ownership of ongoing issue. I've no idea of project's background and it appears that he is forcing a task on me.
The team mates are not cooperative as well.
If I send a message, no one replies on time.

Can someone tell me what can I do in this case?
Any inputs will be helpful.
Thanks!
