Hi All,
I joined Tech Mahindra for 5 days only and didn't find suitable timing for my project and emailed resignation mail to manager and HR. After that HR asked me to resign over portal but at the same time blocked my portal. After requesting many times they didn't unblock my portal and pretended like they want to unblock but there is some issue going on and marked my profile absconded. I have cleared fnf but they are not providing reliving letter but added pf amount also. What to do?
I'm serving notice period in TCS and my last day is in 2 weeks. I requested for pickup of laptop in the portal but I came to know that it will take time for pickup and I won't be available if they come late. So I decided to go to office and surrender the laptop as I'm in the location of office only. Is there a seperate request to be raised for surrender of laptop and how to cancel the existing request for pickup. Please guide.Tata Consultancy
Hi, I recently came across Scaler's MS program, which offers masters degree in collaboration with Woolf University (European University). And, I am looking move to Canada in near future. Will the master degree offered through this course will be accepted by the education evaluation institute WES? If yes, is it considered as equivalent to Canadian Masters degree?

Yes this is an old ploy to get free work. I stopped these types of “tests” and always positioned if they needed this it would be a paid engagement.
There is in my view never a good reason asking a candidate to spend a full day (or more) on a code/dev test to prove skills and experience. It’s a waste of time and energy for everyone, for too many reasons to mention here, not to mention disrespectful.
That said, we would occasionally ask a candidate if they’d be willing to demonstrate in writing (code, pseudo code, or just words) their understanding of, say, bounded context, or ports and adapters, or strategic design, or other concepts that are important in our engineering practices, in the event the candidate can’t adequately demonstrate this during the interview - rather than dismissing the candidate.
It may cost them an hour or so, but that hour might get them to the final round, by clarifying what they couldn’t express verbally.
This is the way to do it.
Is this just a test, or are they selling and profiting off of your work?
Companies should not be asking this much of people, 3 to 4 hours is just about acceptable but a day or more isn't
