Larsen & Toubro Infotech Is it good time to join Cognizant now for Coimbatore location considering too much attrition in recent times along with many policy changes and do they have enough projects or will there be any chance of layoffs if we don't find any projects for our skill(Tableau in my case)? I have another offer with LTI, Coimbatore for same salary but i prefer CTS more than LNT. Cognizant Larsen & Toubro Infotech

It breaks my heart to hear stories like this because I know exactly how you feel the next few days replaying it over and over. One thing that helps me is remembering THEY are the ones with the issue, not you. Anger, fear, and sadness all do really weird things to people. It even turns some into the most unkind individuals. I'd be feeling sorrier for them than for yourself.

You’re right. Normal people don’t act like this, and I also feel like something is definitely wrong with them. But it still hurts when you’re the one receiving the abuse.
Wow, I’m so sorry you went through that. No one deserves to be spoken to like that, especially when you’re just trying to help. It’s okay to feel hurt; it shows you care. You protected your boundaries, and that’s brave. Next time, maybe ask, “Is now a good time to reset this conversation?” But honestly, I think you did what you had to.

Sometimes, hanging up is all you can do.
That sounds really tough. Sometimes, no matter how professional we are, people can take out their frustration on us. It’s totally okay to set boundaries when it gets disrespectful. You stood up for yourself, and that’s important. Don’t be too hard on yourself—handling that situation with grace is something to be proud of!
