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.

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.

Private & semi-govt sectors. I left ST and subsequent jobs without first securing another job in advance, but I still took the risk.

Is my Division Manager useless?
 
My division manager keeps talking about his experience in STE and kept sharing his "valuable experience". Share about division finances say that we are in a good shape to expand, got headcount to hire more people etc. When I asked about my pay increment, he straight say pay and salary is considered Private and Confidential.

If your division is doing so well, what's so difficult about increasing your employees pay.

Someone had bronchitis, and you offered them division funds to buy air purifier.

Pay increment in STE is like never happening.

I was once in a lift with 2 SVP. They were talking about how reliable this old lift we are taking hardly breaks down and complaint, willing to work the extra mile without asking for pay increment and bonuses every time. After coming out of the lift, I know then this company is all about the top getting their high pay cheque and letting the bottom die for themselves. I remember my division manager saying no one is unreplacable. You want to go you can go. And when some m1 resigns, they even say out in the division meeting they could easily find a replacement.

they can say this is because quality is not important to them.

Yeah, I think STE is missing out that valuable employees tend to leave because they are not rewarded for their good quality.

Currently looking at new job opportunities since I am not given my increment.

It is always an irony when a new guy could join as E6 with 1-2 years experience but old employee needs to achieve band 2 for consecutive 3 years for promotion :)

Good luck to STE. A company that was once shining so brightly, but dying off slowly right now.
The only way to improve it is to start from the top. Change all at once. All those VP,AVP,SVP,Directors must go.

why do it the hard way? you can simply set up your own company and make sure you don’t hire deadweight can already right?

You are mistaken. All the VPs, AVPs, SVP, EVPs are the outcome indicators of their most successful product delivered to the govt, which is known as the retirement package.

Their most successful product is known as retirement village. It’s a place where retired and uniformed folks get parachuted to lead engineering functions at a salary higher than their combat pay and risk allowance. Most of them are kept happy there as their pay package is very value for money especially for the effort they need to put in. We need to think it positively that ST is doing a good job keeping most of them there, imagine the consequences if these people end up in the private sector or some public sectors. U may take a look at IMDA thread and see why it is important for ST to do well in their most successful product.

ST is only a System Integrator, putting together commercial available products and call it their solution. Some Engineering Managers in certain BU focus their energy vetting documents for spelling mistakes and formatting rather than actually looking into solutions for current technical issue which the customer is already very unhappy about.

it’s a better idea to learn what products ST customer is unhappy about, quit, set up your own company make and sell it back to ST for sky high margin.

also good to show end customer, they have ways to make ST heel.

That's for those who started high. 4.7k is a low to lower decent pay. 100 plus is more or less the minimum they should give. Or pray you have a good boss who adjust your pay to your contribution if you are good enough , make sure you are not a green uniform personnel.

uncle 4.7k is high for diploma holder already. 4.7k is then too lower for fresh graduates.
Anyway, I lao jiao also keep getting **** increment every year, no wonder ppl wanna leave.

My manager works in ST for 20+ years, his salary is about 8.5K ( I saw his pay slip accidentally). He is happy with ST as he can come in at 10 AM and leave at 5 PM, spend 2 hrs for lunch, and 1 hr for tea break.
