I hated my project for reasons both legitimate and petty. I worked fairly hard for awhile, diplomatically rolled off, and got a better project. I'm happier now. Ama!

My former PM actually told me he rolled off my team because I wouldn't reschedule my PTO. I had this PTO scheduled since June. Another person took 3 weeks of PTO and she was retained. Unethical?

On the bench = stop shaving

Explaining the beach to ppl and them being like "Wait so you still get paid during this so called beach time?" Yes.....Yes I do!😎

Bench life is driving me crazy.

After a week on the bench, Friday loses its appeal...

Anyone else on the bench with 0 project leads? I'm so lost 😕

Aargh this bench time is getting to me!! 5 weeks and counting ...

Seems like a trend here. Lots of peeps on the bench + layoffs at a bunch of firms = recession is coming

Finally staffed after first 5 months on the bench, sinus infection and stomach flu first week on the project.

Officially on the bench 😎

U guys are gonna keep seeing this post every week out of sheer desperation until I roll off...anybody in ATL this week??

1. Industry wide question: is your bench heavy? 2. Accenture Strategy question: Do you feel like there's not enough work to go around, and the work that is available isn't teaching you much?

My CC was let go today due to chargability and not getting staffed after a long period on the bench..

Woke up this morning with a nice morning wood, with no one beside me. It's like my dude is on the bench. Need to staff on a project soon.

Currently on bench. Friend works as recruiter and has side tech consulting project work i could do part time. ACN policy against that?

When on the bench, do you stay online all day?

Sunday eve before the beginning of a week on the bench . Oops I mean beach. Miami to be exact.

Sitting on the bench has some perks. Slept in and then went and got a coffee and saw this huge line for a Hillary Clinton rally so I said, "fuck it," and spent my day listening to Hilldawg.

Being on the bench is the reason I can't bring myself to make the move to in-house.

Beginning bench time at 3 PM today. Suggestions welcome.

How great would office emojis be in this app?

For post-MBA external/experienced hires, how different is the process from campus hiring? Same case interviews? Obviously it differs by firm, but just wanted to get a general sense.

Best advice or classroom lesson from business school that has significantly impacted my career and / or the way I do business.

Anyone else watching a portion of their bonus get wiped out by these markets right now? FML. In it for the long hold, in it for the long hold

End of Deloitte Tenure: May 31st. 97% utilization, good year end review presumably. Time to find a position asap so I can get paid double. Stay strong everyone. I will.

Looking for graduation gift ideas for a female friend in the range of $500 - loves luxury goods and jewelry but seems to have most things. Thanks for the help!

I moved into my current place 4 years ago and stored 5-7 boxes full of old books/ items I didn’t think I would need daily in the back of my landlord’s warehouse. I haven’t needed the items for 4 years, but they now raised my rent for the first time and I want to know where my stuff is. They said they have new renters of the warehouse and my stuff is there, but squished into a corner and they need to look for it. They didn’t say when. I said later this month/June is fine. Should I be mad?

Just had my CRT discussion, no raise but I got a one time award of 2% of my salary. Wth is that ? Has anyone else got that too ? Any thoughts ?

Checked into hotel. Went to hotel bar. Charged drinks to the room. Asked for a room change because the view was shit. Let's see if I get charged. *I mean my client gets charged

How do you guys invest your money? Max 401K?

Midtown/Hells Kitchen recommendations?

What celebrities have you run into while travelling for work? Me? Sat next to Erin Burnett on a NJ flight and literally bumped into Plaxico Burress at a NY bar.

Note to startups. "Go fast and break things" doesn't always work. Uber did that in Britain. The Brits (ok TfL but still) are going fast to break them instead.

When you're at gym just to shower and get ready because your morning meeting gets pushed up on the way there...

I want to change industries to Health from FS. Any advice in making the switch (besides the general, network your way onto a project). How to mitigate potential hard feelings?

Never a good sign when it's the night before and the airline calls to tell you your flight the next afternoon is already delayed.
