Hi all.
Has anyone in IBM been on bench for more than 4 months here?
I have been on bench for almost 4 months now & have been getting automated mails asking me to get assigned to a project by searching one by myself, else necessary action might be taken.
And are there any chances of being straightaway fired based on these automated mails?
I would genuinely need an advise from someone who is aware of this kind of situation.
Thanks in advance
I might be very lucky that I didn’t join Google before the summer as I’m not stressed about potential layoffs… but on the other hand i do feel unlucky to finally fulfill my dream and make it through the recruitment process, only to get stuck in the team-matching stage. And then the freeze.. how long can people stay on the list until they get hired? Or does your place on the list ever expire?Google

Anyone with recent experience recruiting for Boston Consulting Group? Got in touch with a recruiter through referral, was directed to submit an application and already finished my pymetrics. Anyone know when I would be able to hear back and what the hiring timeline looks like? Recruiter suggested to get back in a few weeks but isn’t it too slow? McKinsey sent me an invite for 1st interview in a few days after they received my referral.

Transactional lawyer here. Assuming you have a year long lease, there’s nothing the LL can do to evict you before the end date of the lease. Just don’t definitively tell him that you will not be paying him one more cent. The law facilitates, not penalizes, communication between counter parties. Just tell him your situation and ask for any concessions he could make.

Great advice.

Does your legal status depend on your job? If answer is no then file for unemployment. That will at least get you 60% or so of your salary.

CA, got it approved.

LL may or may not accommodate but I would think it’s in their best interest to work with you. Vacancy has to be more expensive than whatever you’d try to negotiate. If you don’t ask, the answer is always no!

Were I you, I’d go with the last option. Face to face conversation is good for explanatory purposes but you want some written record to go with it
If you can find an add with apartment cheaper in your area than you pay currently, you can write a nice email to a landlord explaining that you would like to negotiate a rent, otherwise you will consider moving to an analogous apartment in your area for cheaper rent. And paste a link of that apartment with cheaper rent.
I use this tactic every time when my landlord increases rent at the end of a lease. The landlord always agreed with this argument and never asked me to leave or refused to renew a lease. My rent has not been increased for 5 years.
Make clear that you do not want to leave but that the rent is expensive in comparison with analogous apartments.

Thanks Everyone!
