Joined new team in and benched for the first month.

Now we have a project kicking off - been told there’s no role for me. Instead I’ll be shipped out to an alternative offering as staff aug. Despite team still hiring. Management being vague (‘we’ll see’) when I question them on plan for me, but everyone else has had schedule populated. Also left out of some team catch ups.

What to make of this/how to play it?

Yeah can’t help but think there is an issue somewhere but I can’t think why this would be the case for a new joiner

Very odd. Who hired you? I’d speak to them.

Hi All,
How's the job security at Accenture as such? I know that last year, they sacked people ruthlessly and now are facing a resource crunch. Also that they mandatorily place poor performers in PIP.

But how is it in general? Should I perform as per expectation, can I be relaxed about the job security aspect or do you always need to be on your toes?
