Between client engagements.
IT consultancies are companies who make their money by sending out their employees (programmers, DBAs, business analysts, etc.) to do software projects for their client companies, usually on-site at the client's office.
An employee who is "On the bench" is not on-site, but is sitting back at head office waiting for billable work. They might be doing something useful like self-training or working on an internal system, or they could be just slacking off and editing Urban Dictionary.
But either way, IT consultancies make money by billing their clients for the hours that their consultants spend there, so being "on the bench" costs the company money.
Being on the bench isn't the same as being unemployed - a person on the bench will still get their monthly salary. However, it may lessen their bonus or feed into decisions for who gets laid off. Consultants understandably become worried that nobody wants their skills if left on the bench for too long, especially if other consultants are in demand.
The phrase comes from an analogy from team sports like football or basketball - some of the team are on the field playing, and the rest are sitting on the bench waiting for their turn to go out and play.
John has been on the bench since he rolled off the Megacorp billing system project last week.

Removed from a game or removed from play; can be applied to any situation where one is not permitted to participate in an activity.
Derived from the sporting world where players often sit on a bench when not playing. A player can be benched for many reasons including but not limited to: playing or performing poorly or sucking, disobeying the coach or leader, unsportsmanlike conduct, not following the game plan, showing up late, etc.
Coach says I'm benched because I can't catch today.

You’re online dating using tinder or hinge or whatever app and you’re getting along with someone, eventually you get their number and set a date but instead of ghosting you they put you on the bench while they talk to someone else to see who is better worthy of your time and effort making ‘you’ a benchwarmer.
Bro I got this girls number and I asked her out for Saturday night and she said yes.. it’s been three days since I’ve heard from her but I think we are still on, should I ask or do you think I’m being benched?
