"They put pressure on employees every day, saying: Resign -- or we will terminate you," he said. "It allows the company to downsize without giving the proper compensation." A former employee at Cognizant, Uthamacholan R. said he was asked to resign after he received a low performance rating from someone who had never worked with him. "I was rated by my manager's manager, who didn't even know what my job title was," he said. Others at his company had also been rated unfairly and then pressured to hand in resignations based on poor appraisals, he said. "They are given quotas -- like out of 10 people, you have to give two poor ratings." - - - --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren () vortex com): https://www.vortex.com/lauren Lauren's Blog: https://lauren.vortex.com Google Issues Mailing List: https://vortex.com/google-issues Founder: Network Neutrality Squad: https://www.nnsquad.org PRIVACY Forum: https://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: https://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Google+: https://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 --- Impeach Trump --- _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list https://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad ------------------------------------------- Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/18849915-ae8fa580 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=18849915&id_secret=18849915-aa268125 Unsubscribe Now: https://www.listbox.com/unsubscribe/?member_id=18849915&id_secret=18849915-32545cb4&post_id=20170624222953:276C4C76-594E-11E7-AA90-F7104908ABFC Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
