Hey IBM Sharks. I am on bench for over 4 months(Band:7A).

Seems like there are no projects.

I even spoke to the Business unit Leader head and he said he forwarded my CV to all project managers. But no response as of yet.

Should I be worried of getting fired? Afterall the company has been doing billing against my name without any allocation and that worries me.

Need your input guys... 😔😔

What is your technology and yoe?

I think your manger is good .. or else in the 2 nd month they could keep you in pip and fired.. start search out side...

Sailing in the same boat as you. Q4 are usually difficult times. Been on bench for 1.5 month now

Same here

Better to search good options outside IBM. As it's already 4 months and your utilization will be on ....., so 100% you'll be getting PIP in your year-end assessment. So best time to leave IBM to safeguard yourself.

Hi, this is mostly a question for account management and strategists. I’ve been in advertising for a while, and am back in this market after working in others. The main thing I’m noticing that is driving me bonkers is the lack of client talent here. Across the portfolio I oversee it is very rare to get a client that understands how to brief an agency partner (creative or media or pr); there is limited capacity to really focus on objectives other than tactical KPIs.
Is this common/any advice?

Hi everyone. I’m a front end software engineer.

How would you approach asking the recruiter if there are any SWE openings I could be considered for instead ?
