Maybe it's the nature of my job. I supervise grasscutting, so it is easy to see good performance, but hard (very hard) to gauge my estimated potential, since the work is a no brainer. Anyway I'll be quitting soon since I've totally wasted 5 years here with no increase in grade in sight. I was under the impression that if you get a 2-3 month performance bonus 3 years in a row they should already be moving you up a grade, but it's not happening here.

Does anyone know the HR criteria for appointment directly into a MX11 grade upon joining? Before I joined I was already MX12 elsewhere, so I'm wondering whether I will still be MX12 if I quit and join another stat board some years later (after going through some annual increments elsewhere first)
