31st March – “All smile” day!

31st March is the day when Swati gives incremented salaries to all our employees. This year the average raise has been 53% the highest is 75% – this is in line with what we have been doing for past 6 years, the %ages have varied but there never has been a year with 0 raise. Amongst other things since several of my boys and girls are getting married this year we have implemented a policy of wedding gift. This is equivalent of 2 month current salary and a 3 week holiday – provided he or she has been with us for more than a year.

Of Course! apart from these are the *additional salaries* which Swati distributes to her whims, they are equivalent to a month salary usually given out about 3 to 4 times a year.

And before any of you pop the question! no there are no vacancies as yet but there will be soon – keep watching this space.

  • Hmm.. my “whims” are carefully calculated cashflows 🙂

  • Does your growing company needs its own chef? 😉

    • Not as yet, but someday definitely 😉

  • You can definitely take me on as an ‘outside contractor ‘ 🙂

    • I promise I will as long as you can outsource some of your pretty models for me to shoot 😉

  • Hmmm….wish I was competent to apply for a job in Sanisoft…but no such luck!

  • 75% is a lot. What will these boys and girls do when the go to the US and realise that the average increment is 5%?

    • Thanks for putting the figures in a proper perspective.

      I don’t think that my boys and girls are going to US anyways. Europe maybe, Australasia yes – they mostly share my POV in most of the things.

        Hmm, Tarique ‘Hypnotiser’ Sani?

  • Whoa .. 53, 75 those are *FAT* *FAT* hikes. Alas .. grunnttt .. aaargh. 🙂

    • Yes, this year was particularly good for everyone, but I checked we have never been below 25% WRT increments

  • W00t!

    Are you planning to spread to VLSI or EDA domain ever :D?

  • March 31st is damn too close to April 1st 🙂

    • Yes, it is close but not the same. Money is serious business!
