Along the years, more projects were tendered and acquired. Currently, we have 8 systems on hand. From 1 system to 8 systems; I was involved in the implementation and commissioning of the systems and then maintenance of the systems doing standbys and office hours.

In these 9 years, i am not even promoted once. My manager was promoted to M1 after 13 years in service. Another colleague got promoted to E6 after his 8th year. Every year, i was given false hope by my boss thinking i might get promoted the following year.

The reasons given by him on the 'no promotion' is that, i did not take up roles that was offered by him and my pay is the highest among the team (i can imagine how low my other colleagues are getting). My reason for turning down is, i believed i did a lot after all these years, why should i do even more when i was not even offered anything in the first place, my position is merely an E6, im not even asking for a M1. I was also stupid enough to turn down an MNC who headhunted me on linkedin with a 50% pay rise. How much money have i lugi now if i had got promoted years ago.

brothers, do u feel me?

Just start taking suspicious leave. There was one time I took leave because I was just too stressed out at work and my boss immediately gave me a raise because he thought I was going for interview elsewhere.

You need a good blessing(boss) , if you are good, asking for adjustment should be easy. I was a E5 3.9k . I am now a E6 with and got my pay adjusted. Now drawing 5k.

I’m not from STE but currently working in one of STE closest competitor. Can definitely says you had been lowball real hard. Similar fch UOL here and my start pay was 5.8k. The HR told me this amount is normally reserved for fch from prestigious institutions. You definitely deserve more than this. 5k to my company is usually reserve for those 2nd lower or 3rd class grads from Nus/ntu

Just 6-7 years ago E5 in some divisions was only worth $3000-$3200. It's amazing how fast the salary climbs.

Salary climbs for a newcomer, not for old birds. me M1 old bird. stuck at 6k......
