Not sure the whole organisation is daff or what. Last time in
IDA, the requirements for PM, BA or technical staff needed years of experience; we talking about 8 years and above.
After years into govtech, they "Dropped" the hiring requirements to like "2 years experience" or even opening to "fresh grad".
Then now trying to make the experienced engineer complete with these "2 years+" engineer on the same grade for a C+, and normalised and pegged the bonus to a "median pay of job function". This decision is stu.pid because the work allocation between a same grade different experience staff is totally different, but yet the grade C+ forces the experience staff to get a normalised bonus.
The definition of "C", "C+" or "B" is still subjected to your RO and your bootlicking abilities. Its never fair in corporate or public sector.
Eventually the organisation will be left with a bunch of young engineers that "claimed credits" but doesnt really contribute to the organisation. I can only see a downfall with current top management.
The whole org already failed since the start from DFS 1.0 and 2.0, and each role is so defined until the customer gotten sick of this nonsense for seconded staff to site.
It goes to show the whole organisation is still driven by Politics and own set of management KPIs.
