2.5 months. Destroyed my utilization. 😔

3 months. And counting.

4 months

For the 4 monthers.... Did HR not flag you???

I was a BTA (entry level) they cut you slack while you build your network. But be wise with your free time. It's a good time to get certifications

Nope never heard a peep p3. Then got staffed on 2 super intense projects, so my utilization is back to normal

And no, there were no projects, I didn't turn anything down

First year and some projects fell through. Fairly sure that I would be flagged for potential layoff in year two of it kept happening.

2.5 months followed by 6 weeks of paternity leave.

Haven't been on the bench in 5 years at Pdubs. I need a break.

I legit new some one who was on the bench for an entire year!! From feb to feb haha crazy. She got laid off

I started in EY's FSO practice in September 2008 right as the financial crisis was blowing up. I spent Sept-Dec largely unassigned with a week here and there of chargeable work. Then spent March 2009-late May unassigned with 0 PD work or chargeable work. Went to the movies a couple of times for "lunch".

For those on the bench long term, how did it impact your rating?

Hi all,

I joined
KPMG around 3 months ago but I am not getting work here. Although, I qualified some project's interview, yet due to some internal reason, they considered someone else, and I again came on bench.

I am unable to figure out what can be done now.

Should I start searching work outside.
(I hardly see any job openings these days)
(sap domain)

How's the resource management here?
(do they lagOff?)

Any inputs will be helpful.

Thanks!

Hello Fishes,

Any idea when we get relieving letter/service certificate from TCS?

My LWD was 16th September and I received FNF 10 days before. Also got initial release letter on my LWD.

I see so many issues in this organisation.
When I joined TCS after 5 days of joining they used to mail me every week for 5 continuous weeks and asked me every time for previous organisation relieving letter.
But they themselves don’t share it and delay a lot.


Anyone please advise.
