Cognizant (CTS) employees saw their entire variable pay swallowed up by the company inspite of the company making healthy profits for 2016. And to increase operating margins from 18.5% to 22%, they have pushed 7% of company’s workforce into MS rating (4th bucket) and are deliberately forcing them to resign through blackmail, illegal threats and underhand means.
But it is not all rosy in other companies. Here is a message from a TCS (Tata Consultancy Services) employee. It is self explanatory. As usual added comments in square brackets.
– Variable allowance reduction
– Average hike 4-6% in India
– Tcs has grown good in business environments but…….
– “For development of TCS, give up your allowance and hike..” [that means the Finance big wigs want to eat employees’ allowance and hike]
– Does it sound like something similar..
– “For development of nation, nothing wrong in giving up your gas subsidies, people standing in queue and farmers losing their land” [so that Modi government can give loan waiver, tax concessions and subsidies to corporates]
