Worried about the amount of time I am seeing people on the bench. I am getting relatively good feedback, am a nervous person to begin with and the bench time/lack of projects makes me worried.

PwC has a problem with it. I am in FS and spent over a month on the bench although I had great feedback on previous projects

What practice/service line are you on?

I am 105% utilized (recorded utilization... 160%-170% if all hours were counted) and I am ready to jump off the tallest building I can climb.

P3 - Stop Lying

FS has had utilization problems for years. It seems to be feast or famine over there.

P2 - Freedom tower deck? Just do it suddenly so tourists don’t try to stop you

^I like how you think.

Been looking into options myself so have become a SME on jumping from tall buildings

Terminal velocity of a human body is approx 120 mph, which would require 1500 ft (or a 138.5 story building) to obtain.

That being said, the survivability of a fall drops to near 0% once you reach 85 feet (8 story building), so any FS-serviced client building would suffice.

We might see a lot of people leaving after the bonus payout so the bench could be called to action

Ok, but trying to stay constructive - if we have people at 100-160% and others under 50%, how are those on the bench able to get themselves off? Are there ways people have found effective?
