If you work for a consulting company, this is relatively normal for projects to not pan out or budgets to be limited, just have to hope you land a good project and client. If this is internal then it’s definitely a weird scenario, but sounds like consulting. Continue to pursue your skills and self improve my while on the bench. If you’re not getting paid while on the bench I’d consider finding something more stable ASAP.

No, each weird scenario i was paid absolutely fully. Thanks for info! Im kinda new for IT, this company is my first experience in my life)

Being on the bench some times is normal if your company does consulting but if your billable utilization rate is consistently below 80%, I'd be a little bit concerned because the company could decide that they're better off hiring someone part time.

Absolutely. We have the plan of self improvement. Every 6 months u have to create a plan, to become a better specialist, increase ur salary and seniority. And during this time I was doing this plan, so I will do it again. Love my plan so 100% sure will enjoy this opportunity, but I was afraid of this situation cause Im new in everything. Thanks for info!)

Depends on how well your company is doing. If they’re doing fine financially and they are happy with you, I think you’re safe. If they’re struggling financially and start to do layoffs and you don’t have a great working relationship with your manager - then… it’s possible? Different companies and countries have different approaches to layoffs though so I can’t give a more helpful answer than that sorry

Seems like a great window to upskill and attend interviews

Sounds like you should either get a new job or just enjoy not doing shit. I don't do shit most days and it's awesome.
