@BCG1 making a joke about a man sleeping on a bench for four years isn’t funny because it’s cruel. Get off your high horse.

Carl? Yeah poor guy. He was on the bench for only 2 months before he was canned. Course that was about 4 years ago I reckon

BCG1 mad that no one found his cheesy joke funny so he has to resort back to the usual Deloitte bashing. FYI, I’ve worked at 3 different companies and have friends who work at almost all consulting firms and ALL of them call it the bench.

BCG1 - wrong, I’ve worked at IBM, Accenture, and Slalom. All called it the bench. Also have friends at other firms and they also call it the bench. Oh yea, look at your previous post, you just said only Deloitte called it the bench. Contradictory much?
