Trending @Cognizant; Pa->A promotion Q4 HR update

It’s disappointing how the situation is being handled. First, they delayed appraisals by 4 months. Now, when the appraisals were finally there, they capped them at a mere 3–4%, citing “poor market conditions.” If the market is so bad and funds are lacking, then how does our CEO, Ravi, justify drawing a salary much higher than the previous CEO that is 186 crores(highest salary drawn by any Indian CEO) Why is it always the employees who bear the brunt of these so-called “market situations”?

Adding to this, even after completing 2 years, employees aren’t being promoted. Earlier, we just had to finish 24 months to become associates. Now, they’ve introduced all these arbitrary filters—performance ratings, work-from-office days, and project budgets. If there are no real promotions, why give us false hope? Just admit that promotions are off the table.

It was better when we had work-from-home options; at least migrant employees could save some money. But even that flexibility has been stripped away with mandatory office attendance.

I sincerely hope the management realizes that businesses thrive not just on profits but on how they treat their employees. If this disrespectful treatment continues, it’s not just employee morale that will suffer—ultimately, so will the business itself.

Bro, i think based on my talks with lead.. hereafter there is no possibility of q4 promotion.. for 2023… see logically year 2025 has itself born.. so hence it will start with 2024 rating once it reflects in go perform.

So be ready ,, for 2025 q1 promotion once the cycle 2024 rating reflects. This is reality bruh.. pls realise .. if we ask q4,q4 they will say same silly reasons

Nhi pata bro kch logo ko toh exact 2 years me kar diye hai meri June 2022 ki joining hai and my manager keep saying whenever I ask him that it is system generated he didn’t receive anything for my case.
