Its a random Wednesday and my friend got a retention bonus just for threatening to quit. Meanwhile, the rest of us got nothing. Do you think companies should reward loyalty or only react to ultimatums?

It's how the world works. You can argue all day long about what the rules should be or you can play the game and win. Your choice.

Time to move then I guess

Companies will generally only do things when they're forced to do them. So if someone threatened to quit, and they took it seriously, something happened. Perhaps it should have happened sooner, but the reality is that most management teams only react when they've got little choice.

Yea and it sucks. I don't understand why it's not taken more seriously earlier on

They should reward loyalty, but they're not going to. Not preemptively, anyway. If push comes to shove and the employee in question is worth shelling out for, they will, as happened with your friend. That's basically the only way to get a big raise right now. If you don't force the issue, you'll have to be content with getting 2-3% following your annual review.

So they only reward loyalty once they know they are going to lose you. Pretty rubbish way of doing it because people don't threaten until they are on their last straw

That’s how industry works. Always be proactive and ask if you think you deserve it. Else someone will ask.

Hey Fishes,

Ask me anything as there are very few reviews available online.
To clear few misconceptions
1. Global projects are available here
2. They've started mentioning Bonus, Gratuity amount etc in offer letter
3. Work life balance depends on Project and managers you work with
4. Inside opportunities if you're the creamy layer
5. PF amount in offer letter is the total deduction and not just company's contri
