Trending @Capgemini; Serious help needed
Hi everyone,
I joined Capgemini in April 2025 as a lateral hire in the SAP Basis domain, expecting to work in the area I’ve trained and built my career in. However, after onboarding, I was assigned to a project where 90% of the work is Unix-based (mostly batch management jobs) and only about 10% is related to SAP.
While I understand that project needs can vary, this has been extremely challenging for me. The work is not aligned with my skill set or long-term career goals. I’ve already raised my concern with my manager, but the response was basically, “You’ll have to manage.”
What’s more concerning is that almost all SAP Basis lateral hires from my batch are in the same situation, which makes me wonder if this is a common onboarding issue.
I’m feeling really demotivated and stressed because of this misalignment. I want to reach out to someone in SAP practice leadership or resource management who can actually look into this, but I don’t know the proper channel or contact point.
Has anyone faced this kind of issue? Can someone guide me on how to get in touch with SAP CoE / RM / delivery leads who might help reassign or at least listen?
Any help or direction would mean a lot.
Thanks in advance.
Hang in there and try to navigate through the challenges while working on the project, it’s only been two months. If things still don’t improve within the next six months, you can consider requesting a release on medical grounds. Once you're on the bench, start applying and giving interviews based on your skill set.
Please ping Aluri, Rajesh in teams
Try to get in touch with the rmg spoc i think they should help you as per the information from from the onboarding meeting . Try mailing altamesh Qureshi, mithul shah It will help I suppose.
Whatever you do your manager will ask you to work for 18 months in the same project. I'm in a similar situation. Initially I asked for release, they didn't even bother then the workload and understanding put me in stress. I was stressing some for something I don't aspire for. I made a call and resigned, now serving notice period.
Try to connect with your HR and direct him/her about your problems you are facing. If the HR doesn't respond then cc the senior HR and climb up to higher authorities if no one responds in 2 or 3 days after the mail has been dropped.
I too am from same domain joined in Feb 1st week. People at that time from basis were facing multiple issues, i did not get project in 2.25 months so i had resigned in april. Still they forced me to serve 3 months of notice. They wasted my 6 months. Pathetic organisation.
