Sleezeball question here, and I feel dirty for asking but I’m curious…

If you plan on leaving a consulting firm and already have a start date for another position, what prevents you (besides your conscience) from staying on the bench until you get fired? It seems all too easy to just bill the bench and act like you were searching for another role while already starting at the other company.

What kind of options do firms have to deter their employees from doing this?

Legally they won’t come after you, the only issue would be it may be against the firm rules, if it is, and your boss is vindicative they could call your new boss, which could put you in hot water, or get you fired.

Hi. I’m relatively new to recruiting and my role is primarily in supporting recruiters. I’ve noticed that even when I include a specific request or call to action, that my emails receive a response less than 50% of the time. Is this lack of responsiveness indicative of company culture or more about the culture of recruiting, since they receive so many emails? Thoughts? I’ve not experienced this rate of responsiveness in any organization I’ve worked for. I am beginning to take it personally.
