When your office hosts an after hours event, do you go? I hate our happy hours, but I know showing my face will help my chances at getting promoted.

If you are in the office that day, you are pretty much obligated to go. There is no obligation to stay, however. I don't drink, so coming up through the ranks I joined for 30 minutes, talked to the leaders that were sponsoring, and left. Make the effort to be social for a little while - it will pay dividends.

Agree with P1. After 20 years, I have seen how effective networking is the best way to advance your career. Technical competence and working hard only gets you so far.

If you’re in a position to help someone, you’re more likely to help someone you know. It’s the same at every stage of your career. It’s not fair, but it is reality. Those work events present great opportunities to get to know colleagues and leaders in a casual/friendly setting.

Agree with just making an appearance so leaders thing you’re engaged. Then leave.

It probably depends on the event, how many people are invited and other office dynamics. If I think it will be fun, I go. If not, I don’t. But I don’t have to worry abt any promotions or people saying things abt me. I like the idea of going to be seen and then leaving.

You are currently posting as Assurance Senior Manager 1

Networking is important, but you have to balance that with your personal life. When I was younger, I went to more. Especially pre-kids. Now, I go when my schedule allows, which is not nearly as much. I don't care what anyone says, my kid's basketball game is more important than a company event.

It's a critical decision and he is overwhelmed by this sudden obstacle. Any leads would be helpful.

Who is hiring in the human capital, employee experience, organizational development, or leadership development space? One of my nye resolutions is to no longer allow myself to be belittled by an incompetent manager. My company is small so there isn’t places I can move to internally.

External Consulting preferred over in house as I like the travel involved with consulting.

Hi fishes,
Does anyone know how long it takes to get an communication for document upload for verification after getting an email for shortlisting and for keeping the list of documents ready from c2c@cognizant.com.
It was an off campus drive for freshers where my brother had applied and cleared all the rounds and it's been more than 2 weeks now since he received that email for keeping the docs ready for verification.
