Helo everyone, I had an interview scheduled with Cognizant on last week of Jan 2022 but due to technical error in Verification code I couldn't join interview lobby. I reported the same to the HR and I was told the interview will be rescheduled. Now there's no update from the HR. Could you please guide me how can I proceed or any email address to which I can inform to take the rescheduling process further.
Thanks in advance

Always be prepared to be fired, regardless of the circumstance.
Is it possible you’re overthinking this or do you have proof you’re one of the lowest performers? I can understand the anxiety issue with communication, because I have had that before. However it’s almost always because I have anxiety about dealing with the person I have to communicate with. If I work well with my team then I have no anxiety about communicating with them. Are you okay working with your management team? If not then maybe it’s time to start planning for a new job regardless, because it’s very hard to work long term with people who make you feel anxious.
Here’s my tip: please shut off the news. Bring your whole self to work. And take necessary mental breaks. I know working from home makes it so difficult to separate work and life, but we have to find a way for our sanity. Sanity = focus and higher performance.
Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.
I would reach out to a manager/partner to check in and see how things are going. Perhaps it isn’t as bad as you think. But even if it is it will show you want to get better.
Perhaps you’re setting unrealistic expectations for yourself? You cannot be a top staff performer right off the bat, it takes a solid year or two to get a real grasp of things. Not sure how you can assess that you were “on track” to be a top performer if you started after COVID. Just be patient and don’t let all of this performance noise affect you. Your first year you’re expected and encouraged to watch and learn - if you try too hard you’re just going to make your life and your senior’s life harder. Sorry don’t mean to be harsh but you cannot come into this job with a sense of entitlement, for whatever reason. It will catch up to you fast. Speaking from experience.
