They dont't really care about us

A close friend of mine who quit IT sometime back for higher studies gave his view point on the company I used to work for. Seems that his views were more interesting, especially when it got posted in the internal blog and got blocked :-)

To be sung to the tune of Michael Jackson’s ‘They don’t really care about us’

Heavy head
Achin’ head
Everybody gone bad
Situation
aggravation
Everybody allegation
In formals
on cubicles
Everybody just resources*
kick kick
thrown out
Everybody’s gone mad

All I wanna say is that
Cognizant don’t really care about us
All I wanna say is that
Cognizant don’t really care about us

Beat me
hate me
You can never break me
Will me
thrill me
You can never kill me
hire me
fire me
Everybody *do* me
Kick me
kick me
Don’t you bloody cheat me
All I wanna say is that
Cognizant don’t really care about us
All I wanna say is that

Cognizant don’t really care about us

Tell me what has become of my life
I have worked for 3 years
bloggers who love me
I am the victim of
policy brutality, now
I’m tired of being the victim of injustice
You’re raping me of my money
Oh, for God’s sake
Look into my eyes
And tell I worked for charity…
Set me free

(repeat)
I’m tired of bein’ the victim of shame
They’ve thrown me in a
class with 3rd bucket names
I can’t believe this is the
Company from which I grew up
You know I do really hate to say it
The HR people don’t wanna see
But if Gandhi was living
He would be spanking all ur bottoms om om au au, yeah….

All I wanna ask is does
Cognizant really care about us?
All I wanna ask is do
They really care about us?

Coming to why this post: Did you know that if you resign, your manager is given 2
option:
1) Release you after exactly 2 months or
2) Release you after 2 months minus your vacaction leave. In case, your PM needs you to stay the entire 2 months in order to get replacement and for KT session, then your vacation leave is gone waste. The HR confirmed yesterday that they won’t be reimbursing the vacation leaves.

Plus if you have put the papers now, forget about spending the Christmas with your family and everyone you love.

If I take my case, that would mean 19 days of vacation leave which I earned have gone waste. Was I really working for charity for 3 years here? This policy change wasn’t even announced to the company ‘resources’! What-the-hell??!!

*Resource: Available source of wealth; a new or reserve supply that can be drawn upon when needed

Please give your comment on this. I’ll be in office in another 30 - 45 minutes.

P.S. This is a post that was the result of pure frustration… Try understanding my situation

It is true you know. These companies are just blood sucking leeches just a matter of time before you realize they are sucking you dry.
