I was happy at my job, until I found out my peers got a retention bonus this year and I did not. Instead of happy, I now feel overlooked and unappreciated. I got the highest performance ranking last year, not sure why didn’t I get an extra 6k like those guys did?
Is it bad to ask my manager why others got one and not or me, or do I start looking for another job?

I would ask. Too many variables to know exactly why your specific leadership did things the way they did.

Typically, retention bonuses are given to those who threaten or attempt to resign, not those who quietly stay. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, as they say.

My guess is that the colleagues you heard about threatened to leave, and got the retention money. This seems much more likely than your firm somehow deciding to single you out as not getting that bonus.

Ask for an explanation, but be aware that you may not have all the info. If you're going to be upset about not being awarded the money now, start job hunting.

Retention bonus is given only if you threten to resign or have other offers.

Lateral that just went through first bonus season with the firm. Not in a major market but workload is comparable to major markets. Surprised at how low the bonus was.

Thanks in advance!

How hard is everyone pushing their corporate clients to authorize nonresident assignees whose only 2020 US compensation was the value of their 2019 tax preparation?
My clients are pushing back on it this year, and I can't say I blame them. If I were in their shoes, I'd rather take the risk of not filing than the expense of filing again. From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.

Hi Fishes, Y.O.E 7.5+ years. Tata Consultancy TCS is offering 25LPA including variable pay and everything. So just 15% increment on my current salary since they mentioned I am leaving my current organization within 1 year.

They mentioned 8-12% is VP plus 80k from that salary is paid at the end of each year. Is it a good enough salary for 7.5+ yoe candidate. Also any heads up for the things I should look out for will be really helpful.
