YouTube Music team laid off by Google while workers testified to Austin City Council about working conditions::Some workers learned of the YouTube Music layoffs while testifying to the Austin city council about Google’s refusal to negotiate with the union.
You assume the cognizant employees are privy to the contract terms.
I would never sign a contract without knowing the details.
The important part here is your signally that you do not side with workers. You are a class traitor. How you justify it does not matter.
Lol ok Hun. You tell me that when you need to pay bills and it’s the only offer on the table, idiot.
apparently you are the one in a position to pick and choose and look down on those who aren’t as clever as you.
Cognizant employees don’t sign a contract. They are W2 employees, who are “contracted out” to other companies. The contract is between Cognizant and the third party. The employee literally never sees it.

That’s not true. When they sign to work with a client, they’re given an initial end date. Worked with many of them throughout the years.
I assure you, they are not. Unless it’s a one off project and not an ongoing project like YouTube music would be.
And I assure you they are. We had dozens of contractors that were doing ongoing work, not project based. They were all given a contract with terms to sign that outlined the timeline. Sometimes they were extended, other times not.
I’ve worked for Cognizant. What you are describing is not the norm. Cognizant signs the contracts, the employees do not.
Further, whenever employees ask about shitty details of their work environment Cognizant says “Oh, Google wants us to do that” but then whenever Google gets any pressure they just say “Oh, that is Cognizant’s choice to do with their contractors”.
The whole system is specifically designed to crush tech workers under a boot and it is honestly kind of pathetic the tactic Google and Cognizant use is the same one parents use when they say “I don’t know, go ask your mother” and then mom tells you “I don’t know, go ask your father”.
wow, that is so brave and sexy of you
It’s brave to read a contract before you sign it? I guess I’m the bravest then, cuz not doing so is stupid.
Easy to say that if there is food already on your table.
I can’t believe it’s controversial to say you should read a contract before you sign it.
