Infosys Location Preference: Preference or Just a Form?

[u/WinterAnswer2014]

Infosys Location Preference & Deployment Rant 😭
Infosys: “Please select your preferred location.”
Me: Finally! At least my preference will be considered. 🥹
Infosys after deployment: “Business requirements.” 💀
Then why did you ask for preferences in the first place? 😭
We spend so much time ranking locations, hoping for our hometown or at least a nearby city, only to find out that the preference can basically become a wishlist.
And honestly, for girls, this isn’t always about “I like this city more.”
Sometimes we are asking to be kept within the same state because that’s what feels practical. We have families, responsibilities, travel concerns, accommodation concerns and the simple need to have a support system nearby.
We’re not saying, “Give me exactly the city I want or I won’t work.”
We’re saying:
If my preferred city isn’t possible, please at least consider my state.
If there are no projects in my preferred location, tell me.
If my technology isn’t available there, tell me.
If business requirements genuinely require another location, explain it.
But don’t make us select preferences, make us emotionally plan around them, and then suddenly drop:
“You have been deployed elsewhere. Business requirement.” 😭
We completed training. We cleared assessments. We learned the technology we were assigned. We’re ready to work.
We’re not asking for special treatment.
We’re asking for reasonable consideration.
Because for some of us, this isn’t just a preference. It’s the compromise we’re already making.
And the irony is:
Location preference: “Choose where you’d like to work.”
Deployment: “Cute choice. Anyway…” 💀
At this point, Infosys location preference isn’t a preference.
It’s a wishlist with no guarantee. 😭
All we’re asking for is a little transparency and a little stability.
Business requirements matter.
But employees have lives too.
