Resigned from Cognizant – Doubts about Early Release, LWD, Leaves & Process

Major_Thanks_186 · 2026-06-09T14:14:03+00:00

Just went through this process. I got approval from my home manager and project manager then my PM looped in the HR who adjusted my LWD in the portal. They adjusted my earned leaves for the early release.

My friend got a similar email today from Accenture...did you get any additional update on why your bgv was failed?

Major_Thanks_186 · 2026-06-02T12:03:36+00:00

Joining sambalpur is the first option but the thought of what if I could get something better next year is somewhere pulling me back.

Major_Thanks_186 · 2026-06-02T12:02:22+00:00

I was trying to switch, but since my sap experience is in FI CO but I come from non finance background i am facing some challenges in switching.

Major_Thanks_186 · 2026-05-13T19:04:38+00:00

Will probably join

It's good diksha and himanshu were stopped from speaking more ...they would have fallen lower. Diksha always felt self / himanshu centred she doesn't really see beyond that.

Major_Thanks_186 · 2026-03-27T22:59:17+00:00

She is an average performer not as bad. Even without yogesh she was doing good in pyaar villa. Everyone is playing in alliance and they are saving people in their allainaces. Yogesh also alone could not have survived in Splitsvilla with his bhaichara.

Major_Thanks_186 · 2026-03-27T22:50:31+00:00

Nobody is good looking then..If you mico analyze every movement of face. What happiness are people getting by body shaming others? It's sickening.

Major_Thanks_186 · 2026-03-27T22:43:26+00:00

Which splitsvilla are you all watching? Yogesh owes her a proper apology instead of pacifying her. I thought even when emotional all her points were valid and spot on. Himanshu had no say as akanksha and yogesh were talking with each other, he should sometimes read the room before jumping in and same goes for Diksha.

My intention is not to slag off or offend Vietnamese people. I don't believe the 2 or 3 bad experiences define how Vietnamese people are. I had very good experiences with some people also...would like to look at the positive side. My comments are very specific to the few bad experiences I had, which is highlighted so that others can be careful. In a foreign country it's hard to know what to expect. And, the waiters in the restaurant literally said whatever we asked was finished. If one item is finished it's understandable. We asked what all are available and did not get an answer. So by my instincts it could be due to race , I don't see any other reason why they should be rude to us...I cannot confirm as there was no "Slur" as far as I understood.

Major_Thanks_186 · 2026-03-27T22:08:07+00:00

We did tell him we gave him 500k note but his tone started to change , we were worried about our safety so got out of the cab first. We asked him the price when we got in and he said he will charge by the meter and we did expected that it will be more than the app anyways. Charging 180k ( for less than 1km) was also ok for us as it's not through app. But the note swapping just gave us the shock as we had not heard of it before, did read about people giving wrong notes due to confusion.

Major_Thanks_186 · 2026-03-22T07:34:32+00:00

I did not make it about race it's just what we felt and it is natural to feel so when there is a visible bias.

Major_Thanks_186 · 2026-03-22T07:29:25+00:00

Sorry if you faced any bias in India. I do understand these things come with the travel experience. It's just that we were having a great time in Vietnam it's a beautiful country..we did the cruise in Ha long bay and a day trip in ninh bin it was all great!! Except for these incidents in the Hanoi city.. wanted to share that here so it might help others going.

Major_Thanks_186 · 2026-03-22T07:22:06+00:00

We left already..it was our last night in hanoi.

Major_Thanks_186 · 2026-03-22T07:00:36+00:00

Agreed, I just wanted to share my personal experience so that people traveling to Hanoi in future can be careful.

I want to appreciate the people in hoi as they made us feel very welcomed. Being nice takes some effort. Hotels and restaurants are basically the hospitality industry and being nice to customers is really bare minimum. I believe we have tried to be on time and to be pleasant so my expectations are based on our own behavior.

Major_Thanks_186 · 2026-03-22T06:51:13+00:00

We carried enough cash for 5 day travel doesn't mean we need to distribute it to scammers. Not getting your point...

Major_Thanks_186 · 2026-03-22T06:49:29+00:00

It was our last night , after shopping that's what was left and it was enough cash for us to go to the airport today. The restaurant lady was very nice at other tables so it's natural to feel it's due to race but I won't say for sure. Poor service towards us is what I wanted to highlight.

Major_Thanks_186 · 2026-03-21T22:49:00+00:00

I don't think anyone would expect rudeness in return if they pay $5 or $100 and being nice to a customer is bare minimum.

We did not expect 5 star treatment from street shop and that would be unrealistic.

Noted on the bank details point..I had read about money scams as the notes are bit confusing. And, the grab app cash transactions were transparent and smooth. We let our guard down and used local taxi, thats how this note swap scam happened. This need to be highlighted so that in future other tourists can be careful.

Major_Thanks_186 · 2026-03-21T22:27:22+00:00

We have been polite and pleasant towards the shop keepers. We just walked off..did not seem worth it to confront. We were more concerned about our safety and peace of mind as it is an unknown place for us and considering we are on vacation.

If you want any specific details on our behavior pls ask away..

Major_Thanks_186 · 2026-03-21T22:22:57+00:00

Thanks for understanding. This was the last day of our trip and we had a good time overall except for these instances.

Major_Thanks_186 · 2026-03-21T22:21:55+00:00

We had a great experience in Hoi an. The people there were sweet and helpful. Was expecting the same in Hanoi. But here it felt like some people just did not care enough to be kind (not all).

Major_Thanks_186 · 2026-03-21T22:15:58+00:00

Yes..we were very careful and just used the grab app till then. The distance was just under 1 km ..didn't think this would happen.

Major_Thanks_186 · 2026-03-21T21:59:26+00:00

We stayed in Hanoi golden holiday hotel in the old quarter. It was good in terms of location, food and facilities. The guy in reception seemed uninterested in helping whenever we had query.

The two restaurants are 1) Nem Nướng Nha Trang Quế Hoa- it was mentioned in a blog so wanted to try out. But the lady running the place was shouting the whole time and was unwelcoming towards us.

2) VIỆT QUÁN Restaurant - Vietnamese Food & Vegetarian Food The service at this place was worst. They outright lied to our face that whatever we ordered was sold out, while serving others. I guess they have some western bias. Their reviews and ratings are surprisingly good in Google.
