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

Paypal Hello, I've been offered Data engineer /Software Engineer at PayPal, india.
How's the company doing, is it profitable? Bit skeptical about the recent layoffs at PayPal.
Any data engineers at PayPal around? Whats your thoughts, how's the team doing and how would be the growth?

TC seems to be a lowball, but that's their budget, no scope of negotiation.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

Not knowing your circumstances, as a recruiter, I don't mind hearing someone is let go. I ask questions, it may seem like you are in the hot seat but I try to see if they are bitter, angry, or matter of fact. I don't want someone bring bad luggage to our company. I also look at whether they have been let go from one job with longevity at others or if they have been let go several times. All these things tell a story. Don't be afraid of telling your story. I'd rather you be honest and say I was young and should have acted better or I didn't understand how I was affecting the others on the team. I can work with those things. Be in a head space you want to move forward from it.
I have had many tell me that they needed more income or want to continue to move up in a company. I don't hold that against anyone, especially these days. Keep your head up and keep looking. Never give up.
Tell them you were laid off. There's no stigma around it these days. They're going to find out anyway, you might as well get ahead of it.
