This is a possible strategy at ranking. You may be a cushion for those who might be at risk of C- or D at the end of the curve. But if you, a new promotee is the last C, you are less likely to be given a C- or at risk of the “drop”, hence protecting those ranked in the same grade above you

when did you transfer to new ministry or SB to get that c-?

Ya is normal for ministries to do that for people who left.

Not so sinister la. Amount of money for bonus budgeted already. Since you left, the money better give to people who stay, up their morale.

You go new place earn your default C and start over lor. You left liao, cannot contribute to my organisation

Not purposely to fix the person that left, but just a better use of money from the perspective of the organisation

For those who gt promoted, will your next salary be above than your current salary ceiling.

Eg: current salary $2.8k, current ceiling $3k. Promoted, salary 3k min?

no. might exceed current salary ceiling if you are near there. there is overlap in the salary range between the grades

But c- need to be block for 3 years of promotion. Tbh it is not fair to people who did under the transfer scheme.

They're smart and make sure there's a lot of overlap so the promotion increment might not be much. At least it increases the ceiling else you'll be hard stuck.

After you moved, first year default C then clock 2 Bs then eligible for promo. No difference la

Anyone from SB knows their bonus?
