People were cribbing and moaning when every year they got a hike of 20 to 30%. They are still moaning when the variable (not salary) has been reduced by what amounts to 1.5% of the annual compensation. It has nothing to do with the cut, all to do with 'we are the god's gidt to humanity' mindset of IT employees. On a different not, don't you guys know what 'variable' means? The whole world knows conditions are tough - is it a surprise that the variable has indeed become variable and for once gone the other way? Come on guys grow up. This kind of a reduction happened across the IT industry during the slowdown of 2000-2001 as well. These ate temporary blips.
