GovTech

But since all ppl of same salary grade are ranked together, I think the new approach is fairer. Same salary grade should be paid same if their performance is the same.

What this also mean we can now openly share our bonus.

Since all will receive the bonus amount the same for same grade.

Example in whole of govtech, Grade G for C gets $30k, everyone who are in this group gets the same

Grade G for C+ gets $35k

Etc

Essentially its fairer but if I , grade G,perf C am drawing $10k per month, its probably only 3 months

Whereas if another person, am grade G, perf C drawing $5k per month, it's a whooping 6 months!

Huat ka liao ah!

Thats if u complete your project early with high quality

But in reality, is it really the case? We, services when work with HQ, be it GDS or whoever, can be real slow and vomit blood

At the same time, u cant treat this folks like vendor. Theres no penalty if your own ppl screw up. Throw face le, we all govtechies. We Can only like, "pls help la, when la, urgent la "

You can ask your delivery manager for more details. If your project runs on agile, then there is always work to do. Some people purposely take the easy story and then slowly do, while working on other initiatives. End up the rest of the team have to tank more work per sprint.

Exactly. Then will be like, oh I done my job. Now I go do other more shiny stuff so I can put myself out there.

But actually the work ain't that great. If u really want to do above and beyond, maybe should really see if the project still has any outstanding work. Raise your hands and do it.

Not like, eh I done my part. Sorry bye bye about the rest of the team. Ping me when u need me, otherwise I afh already

my second guess the same amount would be median salary of the band? if grade G range 6-9k, may be 7.5k?

Yea, we are told that it will use the mid point of the salary grade, but was not told what’s the mid point…
