What is learning and development of AI ? And how when you will be going to bench

i will be going from july 1st and this L&D department is reducing the head count in the name of AI simple as that as my project also doesnt uses any AI tools this company is the worst ever

@Cognizant
I am writing to request an update regarding my onboarding status and joining date at Cognizant. I successfully cleared my interview on April 8th, 2026.
I am quite eager to begin my journey with the company. I have noticed that many other candidates who were selected during the same period have already received their joining dates and started their onboarding. Since I have not received mine yet, I wanted to check if there are any pending documents or additional steps required from my end to expedite the process.
Could you please provide an update on when I can expect my joining formalities to begin?
Thank you for your time, support, and assistance. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

bro they will assign you a project then politics starts they will tell you work 12+hr daily even expect you to work on weekends with no comp-off and if you ask for release what happened with me will happen with lowest rating a n bad review and getting projects will be difficult finally they will ask you to leave the company i think this part i have to face
