IMDA (under MCI)

According to my friend, tesa has super high turn over rate because the culture and the boss is toxic. The demoralization can be felt within weeks you are there because the boss has anger management issue and has the habit of "name and shame" you infront of internal and external parties. It just makes one feel so super unappreciated after long hours of working. People can't wait to leave for the sake of their mental well-being? In my point of view, i am actually quite shocked when my friend told me about such bosses because i thought such era should have long gone? And working in public service before we have a code of conduct to follow and i seriously doubted the capability of HR getting rid of such bosses.

Many people i spoke to agree that imda in general is working super long hours and is common to work past mid night because directions keep changing and so are the working document (e.g. PowerPoint) that is required to be submitted or presented to the management. It is all about amending papers and ppt to what the bosses would like it to be. The way my friend spoke about it makes me feel like, everyone is required to be a marketeer.

Really disappointed with HR for allowing adrian ong to continue heading the department despite all his toxic behaviour. Makes you wonder what's the point of working in such an organisation.

Given the first lot of posts in 2019 and how the ship has been sinking lower every year - when you thought it can't go any lower it sinks to new depths - this becomes a rhetorical question.

Does anyone know what the AMR (Ecosystem and Industry Development) team is like? And what is the current salary like if were to join that team?

I believe you are referring to Content & Standards under Media Policy & Content. In any case, please avoid at all cost. You are basically watching show after show...There's zero career progression. The worst part is you are unable to watch it as a general audience as you are supposed to ensure every damn scene and dialogue complies with the law. By the way, the female DD is quite guai lan so don't bother applying.

Some people are just all talk but actually empty. She was cocky and UNHELPFUL as a BP

Anyone can share what it's like under HCD Talent Dev't? Saw a number of posts on AO but just one reference to the TD boss, DT. Is it toxic too? Why so?
