Haha, that’s why every year Grade H EES scores always lowest. They are the most unhappy sandwiched layer.

I know someone stuck as Grade H for 8 years. His users have promoted from manager to DD but his title is changed from Application Consultant to DBA. Lol.

I have never heard of Grade J PM. PM usually at most Grade I. Grade J usually would be DSM already, with PMs and Digital BAs reporting to him/her.

Principal Engineer only need L2 leadership, so quite clear they are considering to have specialist track. But how far they plan to push this is another question, and whether various division can have their own specialists instead of just massively congregate in PIC

The more u do and do it well, the more points u get to qualify for promotion. This will drive away the slackers and attract the true talent.

Thats what's happening to my agencies. Not just doing your core job reporting to RO1 but also side job reporting to similar rank

Similarity, for job rotation, should allow a person to apply for a higher grade job. Of course, probation can applies. This will also incentivise ppl to rotate instead of stuck in the same place and waiting for their promotion queue number to be called.

Pls raise this during gvt con
