Don't think ping soon would be able to save it anyways

Ohh was this PS chicken? I heard of this too

Dont la. No one interested in firechat. At least for me.

Not much point just feel good words. Hope not wasting time again

Sian....want to quit but job market is bad

Just YOLO!!

Why u want quit? Services or gds? Or where else

I wanna quit too. Feeling so restless. Was from Indeed. Very thankful to GT for matching my pay and giving me a job in this economic downturn. But really bored every day seems pretty slow with not much to do in the pipeline so time passes really slowly. Feel like venturing out for more exciting jobs.

Lol are u a troll or what. Should be thankful and just lie flat for now

Bo zhun la, unless u in HQ maybe? HQ people can never untd us working directly with the agencies.. always come out with new tech then force us to complete by a certain unrealistic timeline, best part is they themselves also not ready but die also want to push. Also, they don’t seem to understand that we also have existing pipeline to deliver to users and might not have enough budget to cater… and if you unlucky u might have a useless boss and colleagues high ranking than you but know nothing

Me isssh also want to quit too…

Your boss will kena also if blindly follow. Basically whole IT will kena and score won't be good if users complained. So really must manage a bit and say no...

But u are right la. Need follow good boss

Besides, unless its wog, think agency will make their own choice ba

I just joined from private sector and I get the impression that in GT, the tech leads are just obsolete trash that can't survive outside. Always talking nonsense in meetings and being a yes-man to higher ups. Once in a while, my boss will throw some random technical jargon to try and show that he has some knowledge but it's always irrelevant to the subject. Always can't make decision or after making a decision next day flip prata after the work is already done. Fk up place with lots of small minded individuals that probably can't survive in the real market.

100% especially on the random technical jargon from bosses and higher management. Next you will start wondering how some people are even hired or promoted.. lip service, perhaps?

Welcome to GT.

Higher up is what level? Director? Really no choice cause they really have the power. Just entertain a bit and back up with deck lo

Lol are you an Indeeder trying to justify why he was hired for no real business case? Try harder bro we can see through your nonsense.

LMAO. You realize that this is not a flex right. You joined GT. Hence, you are no longer in the 'real market' either. You didn't survive in there either, otherwise you wouldn't be here.

Welcome to the fk up small minded club bro. Congrats.

Aiyo why like that.. the person not wrong commenting the exp ma. U nvr encounter before? else u lucky... come over my site then u will see how cui some ppl in GT can be... some totally no tech bkg..

in fact, feel my vendors are WAY better.. see my own people, everyday i smh..

which team bro?

svc. site heavily adv

Check your emails guys! CE just sent out an email. Govtech having layoffs soon. GG

Hello fellow services colleague, see u this govtech con

Must because of the unfair Indeed hires. Now backfire and affecting all the GovTechies... LOL

Spill the tea

yea GG liao. blame all the reasons except indeed. LOL. No wonder hold govtechcon so late.

i missed CE Ping Soon

Huh seriously. Haven't read email yet

Guys we are public Service lei. Can lay off?

read. dont have layoff lei. mai anyhow

Even worse than layoff. At least layoff got conpensation. This one is just tell you to prepare to **** off when contract over since the renewal approval needs to go all the way up, and they dont even know how much they need to cut.

Basically they dun renew any contracts now. Approval for exceptional case only by the CE.

What does MMF mean? Is contractor all MMF?

Song bo. Got budget to hire Indeed to do (???) projects, no budget to keep contract staff.

MMF stands for allowable headcounts. This includes perm + those on contracts. But the first to let go will be those on contracts (expiring soon).

So those from Indeed on contract or perm? Will truly be pwn govtechies if they are on perm currently.

It is got budget to hire quality hires, no budget to renew those that compromise quality

This person is hired from indeed?
Anyway did anyone hear anything from their bosses? Radio silent on my side. I am new to GT, is proper comms always this slow?
16 hours since email but no comms from HR, direct bosses or anything

but isnt that the purpose of hiring contract workers? so that they have the flexibility to let ppl go when they think its time

is there another comms? regarding our contract renewal issit

When CE is the one approving personally every single stays and go even for working level(and not HOD), this tells you something severely went wrong.

Usually contract is meant to let people go who are underperforming easily. But in this case, i would forsee quite a lot of average performees being let go.

If GT is the only agency doing this based on the reasons given, then you know who to blame.

Yes we know. Blame the fking CE. Last time before joining always promise got chance to convert after 1 year. Fk up. No headcount still want to absorb Indeed.
