Comparing percentile across the whole of Singapore is pointless. You may as well say any degree holder should be thankful they receive higher salaries than non-degree holders, and thus they should stop complaining.

And this is 2022. People are not living in isolation, nor are salaries so secretive nowadays. People can cross check their salaries with the salaries of their family members, friends, and even coursemates from the same course

The fact is that teachers' salaries are no longer competitive, yet the bar to enter the profession is way higher than before (recent intakes are 100% scholars).

The remuneration does not match the heavy workload.

It doesn't make sense to work beyond the legal 44h/week just to get a C or C- for performance. It doesn't make sense to sacrifice health to work 90h weeks just to get a B grade, just to get a miserly bonus and increment not that much higher than a C-grader.

C grade should be awarded to someone putting in normal hours. Those who put in above and beyond deserve their Bs and As.

And if officers cannot complete their assigned tasks without exceeding the 44h work week cap, manpower is lacking.
