Perhaps you missed the irony I was trying to point out that being paid for 13 months in a year that only has 12 is something the rest of the world would love, though many call it a bonus which has to be earned and is not a right. And before you ask, i don't get those either but that's not unusual either.
At the end of the day, you do still have the ultimate option, to find another job, just like the rest of us
Only a lurker but this post astounds me.
If it's customary to pay 13 months then that is expected by all parties.
Paying 12 months is a 9% pay cut.
You seem to be questioning why the compensation system should ever have been set up to pay 13 months in the first place.
Maybe it should have been set up that way and maybe it shouldn't.
I have no opinion on that but I can't see why it's relevant.
What seems to matter is that it was set up that way, that 13 months pay was customary, and now this is being changed to 12.
