4 months ago I was a fresher…. Just out of college, a job at one the most prestigious firms in the country in hand, head held high and feeling like I could conquer the world at whim…. Today, 4 months later I am still on BENCH.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term BENCH, it is defined as a situation in a firm where in an employee is paid his salary for no work done, as in the employee is not assigned a project or any sort of work but he makes the same money that any working member of the firm does.
Now this situation is fun for sometime…. Anybody would love to make money sitting on their ass for sometime. But sooner or later any self valuing human being with even an ounce of conscience and self worth will start feeling the pinch and sting of the situation….. It starts eating u from inside….. Your conscience just will not let u sleep peacefully…… Every morsel of food you eat is of, in one way, dishonest means. Every luxury you afford yourself is, in one way, of wrong earnings.
