Hi All- What is this 10 hour work rule in cts? Do they monitor it thru some productivity tool? It sounds ridiculous!

Thank you. What is top up? Also is this practice applicable for M+ resources as well?

like

Most likely. I heard that some discussions are going on to start curbing top up for bench people, in this way all bench folks will be forced to come to the office. Similarly for projects where there are frequent escalations especially related to resource availability.

Cognizant TruTime is your ODC SwipeOut Time - SwipeIn Time = 9 hours and main door SwipeOut time - SwipeIn Time = 10 hours.

This was the pre WFH rule.

Currently they are allowing Swipe time + Top up= 10 hours also but when full WFO is implemented it will be strict SwipeOut and SwipeIn timings only.

like

No , I Think not all orgs have this type of Main swipe and ODC swipe.
My previous orgs have only ODC swipe.
It is Cognizant micromanagement of associates going for breaks and cafeteria.

This is ridiculous actually, other companies have 9 hours mostly...

This is when the client doesn't agree for 9 hour billing. I know many accounts where Cognizant has convinced the client for 9 hour billing. They are trying to negotiate with all clients for 9 hour billing.

I heard many are just attending office 4 -5 hours and giving top-up in tru time for 10 hours..Can we do this?

like

Few accounts and projects are accepting it. This may be temporary though.

like

9 hour work + 1 hour break, mostly they won't monitor, your attendance should have an average of 10 hours. May differ with projects

Thank you once again. How are people not revolting?

like

Because of the typical Indian mentality. Revolting is not in our blood. Even if some more oppressing rules come into existence, we will be happily following those thinking that there are so many people without jobs, and we are fortunate to have one, so let's bear all the shit.

I’ve built a reputation I’m proud of @ my company. I’m underpaid for what I do (started as an intern) & recently asked for a market adjustment. Management acknowledged that I’m undervalued & plans to set me up for a promotion. It’d come with more responsibility, which doesn’t align with my goals.

Is it wise for me to remain open to a promotion just for increased pay? Or should I be transparent with management about my goals (& possibly not get the pay I’m asking for)? Or any other tips?
