Hi all ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป
I am on bench since 4 months and I feel worried. There are no projects of my technology as of yet.

Is there a chance of being asked to resign?

Is there a chance of me being put in PIP? If yes, then will I be automatically put on PIP? Or will someone contact me, warnings will be sent and then PIP will be initiated?

I have very less idea about PIP policy in IBM.

Thanks in advance for any insights on this.

Ideally PIP is given by people manager. If your relations with your people manager is not good they can put into PIP.

Try out in other companies and leave

I was fired last month after a short time at the company. I knew things weren't going well- it was a terrible culture fit & I was also planning my exit strategy. They wouldn't give me specific reasons other than to vaguely say it was performance related. I agree I made a few dumb mistakes (none of any dire consequence) but what kills me is that I tried really hard. I don't want to change careers but I have a deep seeded fear that no matter how hard I try, I will never be a "good attorney".

Looking at exits into pharma and biotech. Have an opp at a biotech at the SM level. Total comp excluding equity is around $190k; RSUs vest over 4 years with annual refreshers, so first year equity would be around $6,200 and it would go up by $6,200 each of the next 3 years, plus whatever base bump I get. Very good benefits package.

They envision 2-3 years before I jump either to AD or right to D. Solid opp? Or hold out to go straight to director level?

After 3 years of dealing with the worst firm I've ever had the displeasure of working for, I finally landed my dream gig at a small specialty firm. The people at the new firm are all SMEs featured in and contributors to the most notable business publications in the world, less than 100 employees, better benefits, unlimimted PTO, doubled my pay and landed a senior role.

Keep looking for what you want and deserve. I'm happy to be forging a better path away from what I've had to endure.
