Hi my IBM sharks 👋🏻

Has anyone being on bench received automated mails from RoBoT_System@xxx.mail.ibm.com and been told something like this-
"This is in continuation of the multiple e-mails on the subject, right since you were 45 days away from your last assignment closure date.  We expect that you understand your personal responsibility to get assigned to a relevant project within IBM, and also expect that you take steps to achieve the same"

Is this something to be worried about?

A gentle note: Many people posting here are not recruiters nor career counselors. I am happy to provide a referral to a role that you may be interested in, but I don't have the expertise (nor the time tbh) to sort through all of my company's listings to find the right one(s) for you. If I post a link to my company's career page, you should do your own legwork and search for the roles you want and then ask me to refer you to those roles.
