Rm6k

If got new offer why not, if staying maybe you should find part time jobs for extra money

last time can do uber part time, no need register

I would cari second income online. Buat translation ke, design ke, video editing ke.

Being a Grab driver are stressful. I suggest jadi Kumpool driver. Earning not that bad. I have the contact number of Kumpool admin, PM me if you are keen.

6k salary each month just sitting around... Many dream jobs 👌

On serious note...
Can do like online programming,. teaching... That kind of stuff....

Or if u risk taker... Can do stocks or forex trading... From your desk job, use laptop click here & there... Monitor tte movement....

Can be YouTuber too... Watch movies online & give reviews 👍

I would take that salary then use the time to expand and work on side business

Bank kan 🤣 I know which one.... Be syukur not cut

Look for new opening but keep your job for now.

Give work bising, no give work goyang kaki pun bising.

Bank also got bench? I thought those accounting, IT, or management consultants who can't find clients or projects only get benched...

I'm the one approved the bench, hehe

Coming Nov/Dec will release new list of bench, due to no budget

i think the company would hope the staff who is on bench can continue to upgrade themselves by doing self study by accessing company resources one... lol

Just curious, what is being benched means? Is it on standby? So in meantime they don't have any tasks to do? Just come to office doing nothing? And while being benched, are they still be paid full salary with all benefits?

If I get paid rm6k a month to do nothing I'd sit and comply lmao

Yes full salary and benefits. Come to office do nothing because they still hiring and waiting full team to complete. Basically right now is honeymoon phase… can self learning or go tengok wayang during office hours

Smeagol45 is right, but the other way is company to sack you without breaking laws and you will be leaving if no other team take you

Easiest way to release staff

That's a red flag, especially IT career.
You spent months without hands on and learn anything, imaging you want to find another job later, lets say you request 9k, without a skill and knowledge you learnt from the previous role, do you think you are able to handle that?

Happened to me as well...the hiring starts too early for the project so I was like you on bench for 3 months before project starts. Once project starts it's busy as hell.

So just sit tight and wait la.

Current company counter offer me 9k after i resigned 🤣

Stay and do some online learning of programming or financial knowledge like accounting. Buold second knowledge track. Will come in useful in the future.

Depends on you, whether you want to aim for learning the most useful skills/ stacks, or your want to make more short term money to buy something.

But in fact, many five figure also having less than 30 hours of real working hours per week. But these roles are short life, when the company not making money, or projects gone bad, then they will start to give pressure

What sector you are in?

If you are wasting time and not doing anything whilst on the bench means you aren't taking the initiative to go around and finding work and opportunities around. I once had a transitionary period between two projects and was on the bench for 4 months but took the opportunity to ask for work around and did the following items.
- Reviewed through training materials, updated them and worked with the training team to update it and get local context to it
- Helped another team working on proposals, get to know the type of proposals and how the tender process was as well as learning to get all the necessary data required and learned how to not provide too much detail but enough details to win a proposal
- Helped organise office events, mostly to get more face time with the senior management and get name out there

There are just so many things that can be done. But if your attitude is to just datang office waste time, says a lot about your attitude.

TS in Accenture ar? Got people say Accenture like to have many bench consultants because they want to tender for projects.

So now where u going TS?

Now i see why i myself on bench at home.

TS Accenture ? Haha

Sudah 3 Bulan, still makan gaji buta?

I sound means ts likely ass torned by company
