Pro Rata Increment

Seeking general advice

I am a 2024 grad that joined my current org in August last year and my hike was normalised on pro rata terms.

The yearly bonus was normalised as well, which I can make sense of, but how does it work for the hike?

Isn't the bonus a reflection of my past work and the hike an incentive for the future?

The delta with the freshers who joined before me will now be reflected in the pay over the next full year. And the bonus is lower for me as well.

Kinda weird imo.
