if that’s the case, the better ones will have more incentive to take the bonus and leave since the salary falls below market or expectation.

what is the trigger? indeed saga karma

better-performing employees refer to C+ and above or B and above?

I know many new joiners are at the lower band so they definitely get more.
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.

It is all relative. C graders are better performing than D, while C+ graders are better than C. The higher your performance grade, the higher your bonus is.

this is crazy, 27 out of 61 in 1 team are Lead and above level, what kind of team structure here

no wonder govtech need to cut SI, IPB because all indeed are overpaid and budget go there

This one I really cannot brain and I only wish I can bring this up during govtech con

Why on earth will u give them such high ranking position and title. pui

A bit a bit also lead and principal. Makes the title feels so cheap already. Why dont take care of the services whom are slogging in and out, taking care of the agency and clocking revenues for the organization

I am a Grade G with 8 years exp (outside of govtech) and I cannot brain how long I need to climb just to have that title

And when are they going to change the DBA title. Omg

he will also potentially get lower absolute Salary Increment? why?

it begs the question why the people who make this decision, including those allowing this to happen, are still around and wrecking havoc of the company. surely the same people with the same mindset wont make the same judgement error (if they consider so) only once.
