So while I understand that there are some rules for promotion, and that it is basically not possible to be promoted after only 2 years, somehow I have seen people in ministries getting that kind of promotion, especially within my own ministry. so strange… my directors also agreed that my output is definitely above MX12 level but nothing can be done because of the rules, and now i’m thinking that even if i wait one more year, i might still not get promoted and i have wasted three years at this rank when my peers in private sectors are already in managerial roles… 😪 this system, sigh… i actually do enjoy my work environment here so it feels like a pity as i’m considering returning back to private for higher pay + managerial position.

Every ministry/statboard has their own hidden rules. But the general rule of thumb is the queue system. Where basically every year scholars will be moved upwards and whatever is left of the promotion quota is given to farmers. How this is achieved is based on if your boss can fight for you as a farmer. There is very little you can do to change this.
If there isn’t any slot and you miss the promotion timing vs your peers, its usually a sign you have reached your ceiling and can thus retire. Hope this helps.
