If one caompares what one got then to what one is hit with now you theres a difference. Please understand that TCSs variable component is almost 40-50% of total pay as compared to say IBMs/Delloits 20%. A 20% of 50% is 10% of pay whereas 20% of 20% would be 4% of pay. Other companies pay you a bonus on EVA surpluses as well which TCS has been silent about till now.
