[quote=Anonymous]HALL OF SHAME: Cognizant

[b]A federal court found Cognizant’s visa‑focused staffing model unlawfully disadvantaged non‑Indian and non–South‑Asian employees. About 2,300 class members are covered, with evidence showing non‑Indian workers were 8.4 times more likely to be terminated after benching.

They told us we were lazy.
They told us we lacked skill.
They said Americans weren’t applying.

But the truth just came out in federal court…

A judge found that Cognizant’s internal policies- like “Visa Readiness” and “Bench Management” - were designed to favor H-1B visa holders from India, while disproportionately sidelining American workers. A statistical expert testified that the chances of Cognizant’s hiring patterns occurring randomly were “near zero.”
Over 97% of Cognizant’s tech workforce came from a single region of India, primarily via referral networks.
That’s not diversity. That’s discrimination.

The lawsuit showed: • Americans were put on the bench while H-1Bs were assigned roles
• Internal promotion paths favored Indian-born workers
• Kickbacks and nepotism shaped who got hired and who got pushed out

In December 2025, a federal judge ruled that Cognizant’s policies “had a discriminatory disparate impact” on non-South Asian, non-visa workers. The jury agreed. Americans were right.
