INR 15k as WFH allowance

An additional day off (company wide) in June

An additional project code to bill time for managing inefficiencies during covid (taking care of ppl at home etc)

Increments and promotions same as last year (no impact to business)

we got a 10% discount voucher for herman miller chairs. (most employees at the firm make less in a month than the average price of the chair). We also were asked to take our paid leaves. no increment and a massive reduction in bonus.

i forgot, free yoga classes on office laptop at 8 am on working days.

2. Broadband allowance of 1K a month along with one-time set-up cost of 3.5K.

PwC1 That can be true. Honestly we don't have a good HR team. The talent we have been hiring lately is really poor and they have a really good pay ironically. My reportees are earning more then me!

Work from home and be thankful for it. Show your gratitude by working 12+ hours per day. Also, paid leaves are going to expire if you don’t utilise them within the year.
