Cognizant Notice Period: Need hacks to cut it short!
Hey everyone! 👋 I joined Cognizant in July 2021 and I'm a billable resource. My notice period is showing as 90 days, BUT my offer letter doesn't mention any notice period at all 🤨 I’m planning to resign soon and want to reduce the notice period to 60 days. I’m open to buyout or leave encashment. For those who've been through this: * Who should I approach first — manager or HR? * What worked for you? * Any tricks to speed up the release? Really need some guidance from anyone who’s navigated this 🙏
