Currently, I am on the bench. What do you typically do when you find yourself in this situation? It has been almost a month since I was selected as one of the fortunate graduate hires to receive training. However, I now find myself without clear direction simply awaiting assignments from my manager. Is this a normal experience here?

Do I need to be worried about getting fired for low hours?
