How did you get laid off? I'm still in shock in the way that I was. Everything was normal. Literally, the day before I was let go, I had a meeting about a new project I was going to help lead, and then BOOM. Suddenly, I'm no longer even on the team, let alone head a project. I don't understand how these things work, and I almost don't want to know. Were things first slow and then gone, or did it happen all of a sudden for you as well?

It’s such a surreal feeling, especially when you’re still processing new responsibilities or projects you were excited about. I totally get the shock—you go from feeling secure and involved to suddenly being on the outside looking in, with no real explanation. Sometimes there just aren’t any signs, and it’s not about performance or anything you did. Companies make these decisions behind closed doors, and it can feel really disorienting when you’re caught off guard. You’re definitely not alone in feeling this way.

Here is my dilemma: I was passed up for manager promo last year and rightfully so a lot of my feedback was definitely correlated to me not properly handing my symptoms causing a good bit of inconsistencies in my performance especially if I lacked interest. This year I’ve crushed it and switched up projects off of ones that I’ve long been on. The few people who “advocate” for me seem to be stuck on things that seem either 1) so unsubstantiated and show that they are too far detached from the …

Hi fishes,
I had interviewed for Cognizant and I was asked to submit my documents for offer letter release. This happened on the same day as my interview(Friday 6th May). I submitted my documents and I am trying to contact the HR who scheduled my interview, but she is not picking up my call. My question is how soon can I expect the offer letter to be released? And is there a possibility that they can reject my profile at this stage?
