Cogno AI Hey fishes, One of my friends, got offer in cognizant. She have an epfo account with inactive UAN and she changed her name in aadhar recently and this epfo account has the past name. So she raised request for name change 2 months ago and still it's processing. And now cognizant asking the acknowledgement of changed name which the previous company cannot provide for obvious reasons. Will it affect the doj? Or anyone had this kind of problem before?

They aren't your friends if they're ok asking for discounts, especially since you've just started. Not cool.
It’s unfortunate. Everyone’s trying to save a dime here and there. They probably think it’s cool having a business owner friend who can hook them up, not realizing what actually goes into setting up a business and keeping it running. A real friend would be happy to pay full price to help you get established.
Have you tried to explain it to them like that before? You might have to be blunt about it. They might really be that unaware of what they’re doing.
I’m guessing they don’t own businesses. Those people get a pass bc they don’t get it. If they are business owners, they aren’t your friends!
They aren't business owners, but they know how much went into me starting my business and how I'm still trying to get word of mouth. I would give them discounts if they were a part of making it happen, or marketing or something, but it seems entitled that they don't think they should pay full price just because we know each other. With that logic I'd be giving out discounts to half our town.
Friends support each other if a friends owns something I'll be the first one buying there and not discount, if my friend grows I'll grow with him, if. I can support his growing process I'm happy because that makes me a friend
