Can give examples of dog-eat-dog?

the compensation/inflated grades is not the main issue, but:

1. hiring 60 pax while already realising a need for headcount reduction
2. HR guidelines specifying to always consider locals, and EPs as last resort
3. hurrying the employment process along at senior levels so that those on EP can quickly get employed without disruption

it can be common for a foreign tech MNC, but for a local government agency...just feels really ironic and demoralising

H, B grade
IPB 48k

is consider how many months ipb?

GovTech addresses online claims about hiring, salaries of former Indeed staff is a joke, HR thought govtechie are 3 years old IQ

Bros & sis, any F C+? Can share IPB? Tank Q.

It is a normal distribution aka the bell curve.

Some will have to be at the bottom.

exactly.. we are played by a ceca

anyone from PIC team got promoted? Noticed a few foreigner face on the promotion list

u compare an average govtechie with MOH or public healthcare worker

see whose annual income is higher

they tank so much more at lower pay

You should compare IT professionals.
Compare with GIC and Temasek, DSO and DSTA.

If salaries are higher there ...

Instead of comparing ...

You can instead ... request to move there

Nothing stopping you ...

If don't like the management ... go FAANG or OGP lho, they are hiring btw

Can't have your cake and eat it too ...

when is the govtech con?

DSTA fresh graduate programmer pay has overtaken TAP. Total TC nearly hitting 100k for this year batch.

New management issue
 

Software Engineer
Current employee, more than 1 year

Pros
Used to be good, similar to private market practices

Cons
Limited promotion, heavily relies on curve which makes things less transparent.
Higher management seems to like doing things on a wimp, changing goalposts without much considerations of the ground staff.

Advice to Management
Stop giving excuses on rushed decisions, good things take super long time to decide and give heads up to the ground staff but bad things can just implement without warning.

Graveyard for career aspirations
 

Project Manager
Current employee

Pros
Decent monthly wages
Learn to protect your own self interest

Cons
Change of bonus structure extremely demoralizing
Unclear kpi, lack of clear communication of expectations from leadership.
Even winning award for system only got "...meet basic requirements of role"
Expect workload to be hijacked by random ccas and unreasonable timelines

Advice to Management
lack of leadership skills/strategic thinking/planning/accountability from top down, but punishment only at working level

Why bother comparing with other agency though. Ownself get high pay happy already don't bother about others lah

TAP is over 100k.

But many here still don't seem happy despite the high pay and good WLB lol

WLB your head. come services and see

anyone grade G with C+? what is the ipb amount? Tia

am Grade H. Gotten C+ for this year and 2.5 IBP this year.

POD is useless. not even people centric. why are working levels being punished for the leaders' incompetency. you open a position, we interviewed and joined. last year throw a curveball, now appraisal throw a bomb. everyone worked hard and now people are demoralised. senior management are the ones who messed up. petition to change senior management starting from Dir!

How to vote them out? EES survey?

ees survey can only give them a slap

anyone know what is the median amount for grade G-I? x amount for 1 month

All these changes serve as wake up call to review our situation and look around for better opportunities and more meaningful life. We are sometimes too engrossed with what we are doing, our working environment and what we hope to achieve out of this environment given all the constraints. After taking a break and getting myself detached from all these, I realised how small or narrow that world is and how pathetic I would become if I were to stay there longer. In the end, I decide how I want to live my life and make it a meaningful one.

What happen bro/sis, u get C?

Probably so

helplessly disengaged I guess

Many of my colleagues are disappointed with the C-level bonus being less than one month's salary.

While only 5% were unhappy with the bell curve system last year, 30% of C-performers are now upset with the bonus being less than a month's pay. Hahahah

How you know the distribution though?

in govtech, what other bonuses are there besides IPB?

there are people waiting for this bonus to solve financial problems...
blessed them, hope they tide through...

ogp is hiring swe, 2 years exp, $9,600 to $17,100 Monthly

If just join last year Oct/Nov/Dec 2023 period, will get default C IPB prorated?

Jiak liao bees getting served wake up call
