You are completely mistaken. Everyone has to pull their weight. Otherwise, bye bye. And from your last sentence, you have quite an active imagination.

So better to build the relevant competencies now and go for internal hiring before it's too late. If you cannot be redeployed, then good luck to you, even if you are perm staff. On the other hand, if you are relevant, then you will have a future in the organisation, even if you are contract staff.

I agree to some extend. I seen jlb in Govtech. They only do bare minimum only. They work in Govtech very long alr, so know how to play the game without getting spotlight

So what if get C? Or even C-? Just do bare minimum u will survive.

Only those on direct contract or third party need worry.

Perm staff just do as per normal, will surely survive la

As my previous post, in a nice way everyone must pull their weight la, do their part la bla bla bla.

But in reality, if u want chiong then put in additional effort. Those lao jiao dont even want to take credit. Just pay my salary can alr. Got bonus and increment? Awesome. Otherwise nvm

All jobs have a contract, what are you talking about. But generally, when people say "perm" and "contract", they mean:

Perm = perm until you quit or get fired

Contract = employed for a fixed duration, e.g. 2 years, and either renewed, or leave at the end of 2 years upon expiry.

In a way sure. U sign up for any job also considered sign a contract.

Last time my friend and i did well also get C cause need to give higher grade to certain people as they need to be promoted. LanJiao grading system, KPI is how many people under you or how many meetings you attended

its not about performance, its how well you kiss your RO ass or be your RO's dog. tats the talent they are looking for haaaaa..joke

Yes it is a good place to learn and grow as an SWE in GovTech GDS. There are not many companies in SG which has a relatively large group of SWEs; this provides the scale, opportunities and room for professional growth. Although there are some hiring constraints recently I would say it is still a good place if given the opportunity.

don't put all your work on the latest and new fangled stuff. don't put all your work into systems that is only used internally and nowhere else.

put more effort into learning things that are transferable to other organizations. e.g. windows / linux administration, open source software etc.
