9 months?! Wtf was he doing?

I wish I had 9 months on the bench. You can easily find yourself a nice job in corporate doing SAP or another consulting gig, and in the meantime enjoyed a paid 9 months vacation. Lucky people with low utilization...

Couple things: as you rise in the ranks and your resource cost increases, the patience with not generating revenue becomes less. Secondly, if on the bench, you have to be way more aggressive about finding and/or selling work to "feed yourself" or be developing new products.

A manager who has nothing to show for 9 months of downtime ... well I'm surprised they weren't let go long ago.

In light of all discussions on FB, it seems to me that individuals at our firm have been removed out of EY beyond PIP related issues.
To help the community brace itself, please provide facts on your Utilization, level, leads, YoE at EY, and network.
My experience seems that the ones let go, had weak network.
