I got released from my project and got in pdp. After a week got allocated to a new project and got background verification mails. Now within a week they have created a mass SO assignment in CDP PDP H&T training. Anyone aware or faced something like this?

After digging i got this


monitored client feedback; successful completion leads to removal from CDP and continued client assignments.
Skill mismatch during project ramp: CDP used to upskill for a new technology with mandatory certification; failure to certify may trigger redeployment.
Legal and regional variations

Details depend on local employment law and Cognizant policies in your country; notice periods, severance, and formal steps differ by jurisdiction.
For unionized or contract-specific roles, additional rules may apply.
What to expect emotionally and professionally

Stressful but structured: clarity of expectations reduces uncertainty; treat it as a project with deliverables.
Visibility: performance is more visible to management — strong recovery improves reputation; poor response reduces options.
If immediate next steps are needed (quick checklist)

Read the CDP notice and timeline.
Note review dates and prepare weekly deliverables.
Enroll in any prescribed training immediately.
Schedule regular check-ins and keep written records of progress.
This summary reflects typical Cognizant CDP practice as of May 2024; local process details can vary.

Not only in one project entire cognizant have skill mismatch...just for billability.. my HCM who works in banking and finance company don't even know basics can't even fix any thing when my peers connect with him . Still in same project for approx 7 years... Only M roles who are fit or unfit in project are surviving peacefully with zero skills. But SA or A are only punished with removal

Reps, you have a client who you’ve had for less than a year. You’ve helped them secure a couple small jobs in that time span. They book a big job with an agency that isn’t a house account but certain producers and clients at that agency are noted as house accounts. The job came through a reco from one of those house account producers. Do you charge the full 25k commission, even though you didn’t really have a hand in the sale, and the client already had a strong relationship with the agency?
