Hi, I was employed in Cognizant Technology Solutions from May 3rd 2010 to Feb 25th 2011. My offer letter has an incentive component and company policy states that employee on the rolls on 31st December 2010 will be eligible for incentive.
My appraiser did not submit my rating till my LWD and i came to know today that he had given me an under par rating due to which i did not get my incentive. It is not fair and I also did not get a chance to view his appraisal. I havent received any response from him as yet. I want to file a complaint. PLease advice.

This is to inform you that my P F claim not yet settled . My P.F. CLAIM ID MAS[protected] : MEMBER ID TNMAS[protected]

Hello,

The MarketRx administration has started to sell packaged food items such as Chips, Biscuits etc to its employee from around January onwards. The prices they have kept are 2 - 3/- higher than MRP. For eg. Lays potato chips are being sold at 22/- instead of MRP 20/-. They never track any record for the transaction.

At times Employees have raised this issue infront of various audience but administration is not looking into the issue. Since, such products are not readily available in the viscinity of Campus therefore Employees are forced to buy them from here only. Please let me know if there is any law against this kind of monopoly.

Thanks,
Rajil Jain

Human Resources at Cognizant Technology Solutions(CTS) has come out with a novel method to harass employees not in favour with the management. I have been at the receiving end of such a shoddy treatment engineered by Mr. Jacob Raj who is a senior manager, Human Resources,CTS, Chennai. This method was also being followed by third rate software companies and Cognizant (CTS) has joined the bandwagon adding a professional touch.

The following happened from April 2010 onwards to a senior person with over 20 years experience in CTS
a) Isolation of an employee who speaks up against wrong doings in Cognizant.
b) HR, CTS threatens him with termination. Puts him on bench & makes him angry. HR records conversations & put words into his mouth that there is a behavioral problem
c) HR, CTS sends him for counselling sessions at his expense
d) HR, CTS promises him a lucrative posting post-counselling, drag their feet and not to keep up their word
e) After 3 months, HR, CTS politely sounds him to look for another job telling lies that they can't fit him into any project
f) If he does not budge, HR , CTS abruptly asks him to resign and threatens him with termination again.
g) HR, CTS terminates him without any written notice or intimation and removes intranet & mails access
h) On his securing a job in another organisation, HR, CTS denies him a clean service certificate and blackmails him to return some monies paid to him during bench period. Jacob Raj, Human Resources, CTS, Chennai refused to even meet him when he went to the office to submit resignation and get a clean exit!!!. Mind you , Jacob Raj did all this as Senior Manager, CTS, Chennai and tries to keep it clean since there is nothing in writing officially.

There is nothing on record regarding reason as to why a person with so many years of experience should be terminated!!! It is a harassment of a CTS employee and an embarassment to CTS if made public.

Blackmailing him for return of monies paid during bench - is it not CTS's onus? Doesn't it look like a BRIBE? Is CTS so poor that it requires money generated like this? Only a few days ago the President & MD of CTS - Chandrasekaharan was proudly mentioning to a newspaper that CTS is a $4 billion startup !!! And I have seen it's chairman Lakshmi Narayanan make donations to charity and take his pictures!!! Wake up senior management of Cognizant (CTS) - you will be better off doing charity to your employees rather than strangers!!! After all, charity begins at home!!!

Much as I respect Cognizant (CTS) having been a part of it's success, this incident has left me wondering whether the HR following a vindictive policy had the approval of the top management in connivance?

Name of the person is purposely kept confidential for obvious reasons - we should not be spoiling his career just for publicity like what Cognizant (CTS) has done.

If any of you had similar experience with Cognizant (CTS), kindly mail me particulars at [protected]@yahoo.com
I would like to go to press when I have enough numbers.

Hi,
I have applied for PF transfer from TCS organization to Cognizant Technology Solutions. TCS has transferred PF amount in the Month of April 2010 to Cognizant and Cognizant had transferred amount to PF Office chennai. So, I asked Cognizant, they said, they have not still got updates from PF OFFICE (EPFO, RO, Chennai). I want know the status of PF transfer (Status) so that I can ask my Organization for the same.

I have sent a below detailed complaint to Spicejet. but no reply. please read through this before booking Spicejet

Complaint:

This is regarding the cancellation of the ticket, PNR# Q4LJBE.

By mistake I have booked a ticket for October 5th, actually it was indented for October 15th. I agree that it was a mistake from my end. BUT I haven’t got any intimations (calls or SMS) at least an 30 minutes before the flight departure. I feel like both parties (me and Spice jet) has to bear the responsibility.

So when contacted to the spice jet customer care on 10/07/2010, they are telling it is not possible to reimburse more than INR 2000 (ticket cost INR 7350).

I am really sorry that I cannot accept this deal. I would request you to reimburse at least 80% of the ticket cost.

To bringing you in notice. I am a frequent traveler in Spice jet ( you could check with my Phone number/name, [protected], Name- Babu Rajanish).

After this incident I may rethink my future travel options with Spice jet. Kindly reimburse 80% of the ticket fare. Looking ahead for a positive response from your end.

corruption has become rampant everywhere , and pvt MNC companies, which are thought to be very transparent

and clean in their operation, have also come under the grasp of corruption.

People are devising unique ways to cheat the system. Here is one example. TCS (Tata consultancy Services)

conducts recruitment (offcampus/oncampus), and selects lots of candidates every year. Some of the people in

recruitment panel have built nexus with other institute. They are asking candidates to do a course in a

particular institute. The course fee for the course comes around 60 K - 1 lakh. They are threatening that if

they don't do the course he/she(the candidate) will not be selected. These recruiters(panel members) have

agreement with the institutes. They divide the money among themselves. This way it's a win-win situation for

the institute as well as the recruitment panel member. But, in this process, poor families/ poor

students/candidate suffer. Also, for the company it's a loss as it may be losing deserving candidates who

are not selected because they refuse to do the course.

This is not limited to TCS only but to number of very large MNCs operating in india also.

I wish the companies take action on these corrupt people.

To,

Head-Customer Service Quality
ICICI Bank Ltd

This is with refrence to my savings account opening issue.

I have joined cognizant Technology solutions and need to open salary account in your bank.I have Address proof as Voter ID,Pan card,Marraige certificate as name change proof and pan card.

But the representative af bank at cognizant Technology Solutions Pvt Ltd refuse to open the account as the Voter ID was in my other name before marraige inspite of my proof of marraige certificate provided.

Secondly i went to Hinjewadi Branch Phase 2 in pune (Branch Code 0986 or your ref) to open the savings account.Submitted the same documents and opened the savings account with the deposit of Rs 10,200.The same is been processed.Then why is the earlier salary account opening hampered and rejected.
I am following up with them from last 2 weeks for opening account.

I have to borrow 10200 from some one else and fulfill all the transactions requirements.The representative Mr.Sanjay Chouhan had filled the Form on 17th of Feb 2010 and commited that within 5 days the account will be activated and later on you will have to convert this account into salary account.

They have provided me welcome kit and My Bank Account no is :[protected] and my Cust ID is[protected].

After 3 Days on 20th Feb I received a call that i need to visit to branch for cross verification again.

I went to Branch on 22th of Feb 2010,showed all the documents then the form was sent for further process.After that i got a commitment that tomorow my account would be activated and i would get a intimation of activation.

I had got not a single feedback from branch regarding this Instead I called customer care guys and then i again got a feedback that form is being rejected for wrong entry of pincode in address proof.

I have already commited to others giving my icici bank account no for transactions.

If this is the response then it is terrrible.I need further escalation matrix for icici with their email id.

If the person who needs to open icici account has to go through these phases then it is worse .Request you to log case regarding ICICI Hinjewadi branch Phase 2 in pune code (0986).

This very poor response how will the customer open a account.

Contract Employee Treated Badly In Cognizent
Complaint on the brain less... sorry... guys with no brain... Mr. Venkat (Manager, HR). Balram (HR Executive)

These two guys who are working in COGNIZENT is treating the contract employees like a slave. They were asked ... no, forced to work for 12 even 14 hours a day... and finally, hurt them and throw them away.

" YOU ARE A CONTRACT EMPLOYEE. YOU DONT HAVE ANY RIGHTS TO QUESTION THE EMPLOYEES OF CONGNIZENT"

Can you imagine?? just because you are on contract, you are denied HUMANS Right.. right to question.
COGNIZENT makes people work as a slave for them.

and i wonder if this is normal in all other organizations...

What ever, i know what i can. And i know what i am. From my side, i worked even more than that they asked from me. And still... i really cant digest.... the way they treated me.. if at all there is God.. those people need to be treated in the same one... in the future....... Its my wish... I dont have enough strength to fight. i am so poor to withstand.. but i have the technology in my hands.. i know how to convince myself.

Anyway.. if you are working on contract.. try to move to a good company soon... atleast if you are offered to work on contract from CONGNIZENT.. beware, even you will comeacross this situation!

Forgive my for my spelling and grammer mistakes.. i was not happy to recheck what ever i typed.. sorry.. u better understand yourself...

During the recession hit period, Cognizant had a good time by foreseeing things. but there was no good done to the employees who worked hard for that.
Salaries for the associates are not hiked last stating the reason of recession when enquired about this year the statement was 'can't comment on the exact percentage of hike and how the hike would be' but now as all would be knowing cognizant is recruiting like anything and providing unbeliveable hikes to the lateral entrants.
No justice is being done to the employees who have sticked to this company.

hope something better would work out.
