Trending @Cognizant; When will I get promoted to A from PA

I was onboarded on 7th July'22. I completed my 30 months in Q1'25.

My utilisation was 74.7 as of Q4'24 quarter but it will increase this quarter.

I have not been able to follow RTO guidelines as I have to work on UK shift. And I work extra hours everyday as I do 2 mans job.

My manager and resource manager told me they will try to talk about RTO to HR but I doubt they will try.

Do you think if they try I will get promoted in April? Or is it at the end of the quarter. Then it will be almost 3 years which is ridiculous.

Everyone who was onboarded 7 days before me are now promoted it's just me who's left. I am really sad after doing so well on the job that even client's product manager sent out a mail for my appreciation.

I am really frustrated bro, if I was onboarded 7 days before I would be A today. Also I couldn't follow RTO in Q1 of this year while I did follow it in Q4 last year. And exactly due to that reason they will stop my promotion

Hmm, I knew from start.. that's why it's painful.. I knew I wouldn't get promoted in Q1 so waiting for Q1 to end and see all the friends/colleagues who joined 7 days before me get promoted was painful..do you know when I will get promoted? Apri/May/June?

guyss i got onboarded on 1st December 2022 nd since then continuously am in different different projects just the thing is since this year's January i have stopped going to office because i have been assigned to 0-1 day work model due to medical reason of mine. So in my scenario when can i expect promotion. I'll be completing my 30 months in June

Which service line? QEA?

Ask your PM to make your work model as Remote 0-1 Days per week. This will resolve the issue related to RTO.

I also have 36 months of experience in CTS.. They are not even considering my requests for promotion..as per my PM , A to SA will consider if we manage more than 2 projects and we should work above their expectation.. Not sure what is their expectation🙃

Always keep expectations low and ready to be disappointed, I have completed 38 months and working from client location with proper RTO still no promotion.
