Was on the bench right before COVID hit, & now of course have been unassigned with everything going on. I’m painfully bored of watching online trainings, and afraid of layoffs due to low utilization 😣

Lol was going to say the same thing. SA can you enlighten me what else I should be doing? I’ve only been at the firm less than a year so no advisees, not scheduled so I have no billing to do, have watched countless trainings, done as much BD work as I can.. please elaborate what further work a manager can do to keep busy after 3 weeks?

I was also on the bench before covid-19 hit, and still unassigned. Have layoffs been happening at your company already?

Same in S&O - we’ll get through this!
