Yes. It sucks to give 0 days but I don’t really see how you have a choice. Also since you’re on the bench you’re not really screwing any project team over

If you're on the bench, your 0 day notice may even be a relief!

What does bench life look like for you?
For me a typical day looks like this
9 am- sign in and check emails
930-11 : look for a new job
11-2 lunch and nap
2-3 : sometimes meetings, mostly begging people for billable work
3-4:30 - proposal work if I have it or more job hunting
5-9pm family time and dinner
10-3am - netflix, videogames, cry myself to sleep
