Currently on the bench and have a new job offer starting Oct 30. Do I still need to give 2 weeks notice if I’m on the bench? Or will they want to release me earlier since I’m costing them $$

You don’t *have* to give 2 weeks... but it’s bad form not to. You can ask that question in the conversation, but I would always assume 2 weeks if you hope to keep bridges/rep intact.

Hi I am a female USDC SS level employee and would be on bench starting from mid September. I have received a generic email from RM stating that work from home is not allowed when on bench and have to come to office from 9am to 5pm. I am a mother of 11 months old and my family already had Covid few months back. Since my kid is very small i am not comfortable sending him to day care. Can anyone suggest how to get approval for work from home during my bench time. I am very much tensed
