It is very normal..all companies give the variable pay as per the company performance or individual unit performance..so in nutshell,it is not a salary cut..its the the cut in payment of variable pay..please dont get it wrong..neways TCS was never a good payer as far as salary is concerned, it is this componet which they used to keep people happy and since profit is less, they cant sustain it..no need to worry for other company guys!
