Holding profile is a rejection?
I had an interview at Cognizant two weeks ago and cleared the final round, including document verification. After the interview, the interviewer personally reached out to me to discuss the roles and responsibilities in detail and also requested me to expedite the process of sharing my documents for verification. However, during the salary discussion, their offer didn’t align with my expectations, they offered a 30% hike and were not open to any negotiation. Later, the HR mentioned that they would hold my profile. Does this mean it’s a rejection? I haven’t received an email or any proper closure from them yet.

Now during current project my so called manager is psycho. Here in cognizant manager also do coding but he is like only I have to do everything and he just wants credit for it. Even to other squads he is like only he is doing work. He oftenly insulted me and two other team mates. I talked with my home manager but no benefit. Only you have to suffer in that scenario.
