I'm really concerned to see this chain of emails. This situation is really unwarranted. All the associates of my group are important to me irrespective of position or Designation.
My doors are always open for you guys to voice your concerns, if it is not adequately resolved by your immediate supervisor or Manager.
Incase if I'm not available or otherwise feel free to reach out to Deepak (in CC) Who is our talent manager to voice your concerns
I'd like to re-iterate that DW culture is a transparent & open door culture and no associate should hesitate to approach any appropriate person to get their issues resolved.
I rely on all of you to continue the tradition.
Best Regards...Veera

Subhash,
First and foremost, we need to understand that Mart R&D DL is not the forum for airing personal views. This DL is meant for sharing knowledge within our group to aid the associates enhance their skills and perform better on the job.
As much as I do not want to respond to the entire group, it is intended to help associates understand their responsibilities towards the organization and our customers.
· Onsite roles are extremely critical in establishing a strong relationship with our clients. There are many other qualities that are expected from an associate besides technology competency. Good communication skills, maturity and responsibility are some of the key factors for succeeding in onsite roles. You need to introspect on where you are with respect to the capabilities that are expected for an onsite role to equip yourself better and to succeed in your career aspirations.
· The organization provides equal opportunities to its associates to pursue their aspirations. Onsite travel at the minimum requires a visa. Your are well aware that your visa was rejected post your first interview. Despite this we have re-applied for your visa and the second visa interview is scheduled for November.
· 60 days of notice period is a company policy which every one is required to abide. Any lesser notice period is not a matter of right and cannot be planned without customers' interests in consideration. While we try to accommodate associates interests wherever possible, the Customer and Organization interests are paramount.
· Cognizant's strength lies on a strong foundation focused towards our customer's interests. This is expected to be part of every associate's culture rather than the manager alone
The escalation channels made available are your immediate supervisor, the Project Manager, the Practice Head or HR. I encourage associates to use the options / resources available in the system to get their concerns addressed appropriately.
Regards,
Usha Rangarajan

Subject: Please bare some time.... Please read
Hi All,
Please don't think this is the waste of time. Please read.
First of all I like to introduce myself, my full name is Bathala Subhash Babu working for JPMC - GDW Project for last one and half year. Actually I have joined from Wipro to Cognizant the only reason is for Onsite opportunity. While joining from Wipro, our HRs told that within 3 months there will be onsite opportunity, for this I don't have any written proof. But I can give the virtual proof for this. How means, I joined with a salary hike of 4% with the same position as in Wipro. Many of the guys will see whether they are getting good salary or good position or onsite opportunity, In my case I didn't got good salary or good position. This is the first time I have been fooled in Cognizant. I am not blaming the HRs I understand the intention to get the resources from a good company.
I have waited for one year and I have resigned to Cognizant on March 03 2005. With in minutes Anita(Who is CCed), my APM has come to me and called for discussion. We discussed for one hour, In that discussion "I believed that I will be sending for onsite within Short time". In the below forwarded mail, you can see these words in my final mail to Anita. Before taking back the resignation, once again I called Anita and I reminded her that I am loosing the very good opportunity. Due to this I lost very good offer from IGATE with 45% hike and position higher than Cognizant. you can find this offer letter as an attachment.
In July 2005 I went to meet Anita and asked when are you going to relieve from this project first, She told it will be in the middle of Nov 2005, that too it will be the minimum date, she is telling. This is the second time I have been fooled in Cognizant. I really frustrated. Once again I got very good offer and final time I have resigned. September 02 2005 I will be finishing two months notice period here. But the joining date I got from the company where I am going to join is August 07th. I discussed with the joining company to extend the joining date, they told that they can extend upto 22nd August, after that the offer will go invalid. I tried very much to convince them to extend the joining date, but they didn't. I don't know what to do.
I thought of discussing for 10 days earlier release with Anita. I went for discussing the same but She told that she is not responsible for this, she told to meet Usha(Who is CCed), who is a Senior PM for us. I explained every thing about my situation to Usha and requested for 10 days earlier release. She told, She can't relieve 10 days earlier. I have Pleased her for many times, begged like beggar and literally cried, still she said 'NO'. I asked the reason why she is so strong saying 'NO'. She given the reason, the new resource should feel comfort on my KT and client should feel comfort on the new resource. I asked if the new resource wouldn't feel comfort on Sep 02, she told as per policy you will be released. Shockingly, not yet she has identified the new resources. I don't know after reading this sentence she may come and tell "Who told she didn't identified the resources", but n?ormal procedure is, if the new resource is identified, Anita will come and introduce to the team. This didn't happen, that means still new resource is not identified. If the KT is problem, I told that one of our team member will take responsible for the KT for 10 days. For this also she told 'NO'. She told that they are new to the project. I confused with the word new because one of my team member has joined 5 to 6 months back. I am 100% sure that, a new person can work easily in our project with the guidance of any of the team member. This thing you can check with anybody in my project. That to I am in the project for SIRs work not in Production support. So there will be no problem without me for 10 days. You can check this with my client, Whose name is Shant and his mail ID is shant.karakashian@jpmchase.com. That to new resource has to be identified and he or she has to undergo the client interview, clients has to be satisfied with him or her. All these events are dependent. Another thing she simply told was, If she is unable to identify the new resource on or before Sep 02nd, She told that 'I should not blame her'.
Another thing she is telling, company policy, to stay up to two months. Within 20 days one of my friend has been relieved from Cognizant. His name is Mani Prasad and cell no is 9880126465. If anybody likes to talk with him about this, they can. I like to remember one fact "Policy is for People but People is not for Policy".
Apart from all this, In worst, I have explained that I have wife and 11 months bady,so please don't put us on roads, for this she simply said "That is your problem". After hearing these words really I don't know how to react. These words will prove she don't have the human values first. She want to do the business for 10 days also, in fact in this 10 days, only 7 days are working days because we have Saturday, Sunday and 26th holiday too.
In spite of fooled here, I have Please, Begged, and literally cried, She said the word 'NO'. And that too I am sincerer and working hard, this thing you can check with Kasiviswanathan, Ramanathan (108277), who is my before PL.
One thing I can say, Usha is doing business on my dead body because now I am physical present, not mentally.
We didn't had any arduous discussion, always I pleased her.
All these discussion and tension for me is for only 10 days before release date. I like to ask one question to all of you, Can't Cognizant do me the very small favour, releasing me 10 days before??????
I request all the PMs, Please save the human values rather than given preference to business.
In all above discussion, for some I showed the proof but for some I didn't. As per my knowledge all the above are true, I am promising the same on my 11 months baby.
I like to request you all one thing, If anyone like to talk with us, Please don't call individual, I may tell positive in my manner, they may tell positive in there manner. Please call us together, we will discuss.
If anybody still think I have to stay for Sep 02nd, yes I will be present but only physical presence.
Really I am very much unsatisfied while going from Cognizant.
Thank you very much to all being patience for hearing my inner feeling about my situation.
As a team member I like to share my feelings with you. If anyone feels this is waste of time. I feel sorry for this.
Thanks and Regards,
Subhash.
PS: For HRs information, I have 16 days vacation leaves and 8 days sick leaves.

Dear Subhash,
As discussed, your aspiration for onsite opportunities will be taken care. As I told you we are in the process of initiating the Visa Processing for all the eligible persons of our team and we will be planning a gradual release from the current assignments.
Meanwhile as I advised you can learn one more ETL tool and a OLAP tool and strengthen yourself.
Kindly revert your decision and mail us about that.
Thanks & Regards,
Anita A

Hi,
I have decided that it is time to move on and I have accepted a position elsewhere.
This was not an easy decision and took a lot of consideration. However, I am confident that my new role will help me to move towards some of the goals I have for my career.
Please be assured that I will do all I can, to assist in the smooth transfer of my responsibilities before leaving.
I wish both you and Cognizant every good fortune and I would like to thank you for having me as part of your team.
Please releave me at the earliest possible.
Thanks & Warm Regards,
Subhash Babu Bathala.
