Does 10 hrs less bring me from 60 to 50, 50 to 40, or 40 to 30?

Ha - I'd say for 70 to 60, two weeks of bench. For 60 to 50 and lower hour totals, I'd probably prefer the 10hr/wk cut.

Hi IBM sharks 😊

So I joined IBM in May 2022 and was on bench for 5.5 months since then.I will be allocated to a project next week. Also my probation got confirmed a week back.

I have following queries-
1)With me joining a project so late, can I expect a Variable Pay in March 2023?
2)The manager told me I have flexibility to choose 2-11 shift or work in morning as everyone is flexible here. What must I do officially to get that monthly shift allowance?

Any inputs r highly appreciated guys 😊
