Not at most firms, can’t comment specifically on yours

Check with your coach. In my experience, you’re supposed to be available during standard work hours, and respond fairly quickly if someone reaches out — but that doesn’t necessarily mean immediately/within minutes. If you’re away for as long as it takes to run an errand, take a walk, etc., that’s fine — if you don’t respond for the better part of a day, not so much.

Mouse clicker. Open a meeting with yourself in teams, change to red dot, step away. If anyone messages you, respond on phone.

My manager at my firm told me it was fine to be yellow on teams when benched as long as I respond when I'm pinged on my phone. Firm dependent ofc

Hello fishes, I joined Nagarro on 24th of August. But still no project is assigned yet. Basically I am on bench. Now I am about to get an offer from ServiceNow.

As I am still on bench, will I get released by Nagarro soon ? Because no project is allocated to me.
