Ogilvy peeps what is the policy on bonuses (non C-suite)? Have you received one lately? Not sure if it's regulated as WPP's stupid f'ing raise/promotion cycle.

I think there is discretion to award but it is tough. I know a cw/ad team that won a few lions and got $5k each.

Bonuses at WPP firms are discretionary and usually take at least 7 layers of approvals (US CFO is final say), and can only happen if and only if you're hitting numbers. Speaking from experience....

They still come from the pile of money WPP controls, but have less impact on the bottom line since it's on-off and not impacting benefits in any way, so given slightly more freely

I received one 10k bonus last year that was performance related, not tied to a schedule. But to echo the other comments...bonuses are gonna be hard to come by this year.

They tend to use them as incentives when they can't give a raise or promotion. They're not as regulated by WPP.

So be nice to finance.

Hi Fishes

Joined My new company this Jan. My previous income was not eligible for tax slabs. Now while adding the income from Apr 21-Mar 2022 it's become 5.9 LPA. I don't have any investments and in my new company I declared the same. The only tax exemption I have is PF contribution and professional tax. I have only 25K PF contribution and 2.5K professional tax. So while calculating the tax I am getting 15K as tax payable. How can I avoid this 15k. Kindly pour your suggestions. TIA.

He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>
