Trending @Capgemini; Is a Transfer mandatory while relocating for a project?

For my new project it requires me to relocate so that I can continue WFO from odc. Unfortunately, in my current location there's no odc. As, I have been on the bench since joining in Dec 2024, I cannot refuse any more project opportunities, I have accepted it. But little did they mention if I need a base location transfer also? I don't want to transfer that as in future I want to come back to my city. Is there any way to avoid the possibility of transfer?

It totally depends on your manager. Try to put up a case of your dependent mother or very young baby. If managers approves then no one will have any issue

Man, I really don't want to say this but my current people manager seems very inexperienced and simply not able to help me regarding any of these things. I had to escalate this today.

Not your people manager, check with your project manager

How much experience? Generally they don't ask experienced professionals to relocate

Relocation is required if the project demands. You can always apply for relocation expenses claim.

Please note if they are transferring you to a location which is different from what is mentioned on your offer letter, you are eligible for relocation expenses.
Do check the policy.

Hi, but what they are telling is "if relocation is not added in your offer letter then we can not provide you the relocation/that you have to check with your new account if they can reimburse". But they didn't ask for relocation during offer/joining. So, it is just a case of possibility mentioned in OL. My joining and base location is Kolkata. Now if I am not getting project in Kolkata, and new project require a relocation, shouldn't that include a reimbursement? I am asking for the guidelines, but they are simply ignoring. What should I do?
