A former project manager is seeking legal advice after being terminated from his job in Bengaluru, India, under what he claims are unfair circumstances. He alleges that his company refused to accept his resignation, demanded he work while sick, and ultimately fired him after he was injured in an accident, while threatening to withhold his experience certificate and demanding a three-month salary payout.
IT giant Cognizant has issued a stern directive to its employees, declaring that failure to comply with its return-to-office policy could result in termination. The company has been urging its workforce to resume working from offices for three days per week, but many have remained reluctant despite repeated reminders. Cognizant’s management has now made it clear that further violations will be considered serious misconduct and subject to disciplinary action, including dismissal.
