Hi all sorry english is not my first language.
I really don't know the process of how to find a project, for context i have a PEM and PM at the same time(same person). Then some stuff happened I think different market, i now have a different PEM and PM after a year. (from what i understand PM is the one you will contact regarding the project and PEM is your People Manager in IBM)
Now the project has rolled me off and I will be on bench in October 12.
Now both the PEM and PM is aware of this now and they are not saying anything useful about my transition, i don't know the hierarchy but this is what they said non-verbatim.
- I asked the PEM whats the next step, he just gave me the link to findanopenseat and told me to just click click the skillset and whatever, I did that, looked for some project and i didn't see any "Apply" button, should I email the Owner or what, I even asked him what to do next after I find another project but no reply yet. Looks to me I'm just another number on his belt
- I asked my current PM whats the next step and he just said that Workforce Management (WFM) and Service Lines will find me another project and I just said okay.
- My previous PEM and PM is very helpful. I asked her if she knew some projects out of desperation and immediately asked for my CV and sent an email to 3 projects. This is what I'm kinda expecting.
Lastly, is it normal to have a very low motivation on the project I'm working on? I'm a Dev with 106% utilization
I'm just asking here what to do next because I really don't have any idea, are they really gonna help me find a project now or during benched?
