I joined in Sep 2025 and have not received either the salary hike or variable pay. I was informed by both my HLM and HR that I am not eligible due to being on the bench & not being billable.

Noticed that some employees who joined in January & February received both. Could you please clarify the eligibility criteria and let me know if there is any possibility of reconsideration in my case?

If I am not eligible now, will I receive it later as arrears once I am allocated to a billable project?

Haha it's a mix of product management, project management, product development, consulting work, technical stuff, analytical stuff. Literally anything the project needs to succeed haha

I mean it hardly takes 30 secs to send out an rejection mail or pick up the phone the say I'm not shortlisted. Why should they ignor. I'm not gonna scold her or beat her for that don't they have some basic integrity
