Personally, I don't see myself progressing far in the public sector even if i take up courses using my own money and etc. Also, i feel that healthcare workers are just treated as if they are like a tool in a clockwork, being replaceable and not valued added or treasured by the organisation. I dont think its the kind of job where "hard work" = more monetary incentive/promotion, especially where there is bureaucracy and politics involved.

The recent pay increment is a joke, imo, its just compensating for the inflation that's happening.
