I am MX11 and got a C performance grade with a MI of 6% ($360). 31 year old male with NS. 2nd upper. non-scholar.

I think those with B grade will get 8% MI and those with C grade will get 6% MI. At least this is accurate for MX11.

For courses with the option of a 4th year with honours (e.g. Computing, FASS), scholars will definitely proceed with it.

For courses without the possibility of honours (just hypothesising for this post but i dont know of any such courses), I dont think any scholars in the right frame of mind will sign up for it.

u seem to be trying very hard to substantiate your case but i do not think there are such instances.

Don't believe that "C because just promoted/employed" excuse! Performance grades work on a quota system and if they can don't give you a B (to give to someone else) then they tell you that you got a promotion so that replaces the C.

I got B every year from first appraisal until now. In between got 1 promotion.

The poster said that his salary scheme is based on the MX scheme, and now says it is not based on MX scheme. This is the reason that why the discussed content has to be read carefully, with a fully discerning mind.

He also mentioned that he was involved in many stints that allowed him to increase his visibility among the senior management. For your information, many Civil/ Public servants went through the same phase and are not promoted as quickly as the poster did. They also attended meetings on behalf of their directors when they are not free. This is very common in Civil/ Public service. Nothing new. Nothing amazing. Nothing out of this world. No signs of over-achievements. He was just performing his duty.

There are many Civil/ Public servants who work relentlessly over the weekends (some at home while others go back to office to work) in order to provide content support to the ministries, especially during important periods such as speeches and so on. Nothing new. This is expected of them and does not hint any signs of over-achievement.

As what I mentioned earlier, the public service has a structured compensation system that takes into consideration several factors before offering the job or giving the increment. No surprises. You can use excel sheet to calculate the trajectory.
