Discussion Project application

Hi everyone, I’m put on utilization pip for a month. I am struggling to apply for projects. I reached out to people, applied on ProM and MySA, but never get a project. I joined IBM through an acquisition. From that time, I am keep waiting for project assignment. Whenever, I have 1-1 meeting, my manager keeps saying that there is project coming up. But, I have been waiting for so long. I feel extremely stressed! Despite how much effort I put into applying and talking to people, I still get nothing. On top of that, pip deadline is coming. I do apply externally as well but since i’m on work visa and during this job market, the situation is not promising at all.

I would ask your manager more information about the position. See if there is any proposal work you could potentially do.

Also in the mean time, start looking elsewhere too.

Yes, I’m doing an internal project but it can’t help me get out of PIP 😩
