Trending @HCL; My Colleague mailed to HR about hike letter Reply from HR in below image How many of you mailed to HR for the same ?

What kind of vage reason is that? Most probably your colleague must be a lateral hire. If company has hired him/her with high package they must have given him the band accordingly. Now they are complaining you are in lower band as per your CTC and not eligible for hike. Really??

How much is your experience? Is this your first company?

Bullshit reason to not give hike

Which band and what's the cctc for your colleague?

What is your band ?

That's what , if they are transparent,they can give a quintile 5 band range with lpa ..so that employees will be satisfied with answer

that's BS

But if salary is low per band then they don't care...

What is your band and how much your package is?
