Civil Service Performance Bonus

C is obviously a bad grading, who says it is different from getting C in an exam?

Common sense. Otherwise why do A and B even exist?

1st year in HQ out from school, confirmed is C.
First time in CS ah?
You come out NIE also, 1st year also C right?

It seems there is a lot of expectations here.

1. Bosses will tell you there is no quota. Wrong. There is always a quota. My supervisor always ask me who in my team should get what grade and why.
2. The quota is based on bell curve. 80% falls within the middle tier of C (of coz, there is C+, C, C-).
3. If you expect to be promoted, ask yourself why? You cannot be expected to promote because you have done your job. Many people have done their jobs. What have you contributed more than the person next to you?

Hi it is normal since you are new. What is the pb you received? Think that can differ across the newly joined

unfortunately, its just hard for many to understand because many people do not study economics and do not understand that there is a finite resource given (pot of gold)

Hahaha .. then like that how?

Not first time in CS... But it's so different from back in school. Was b-grader all the way.

Is it true that the PB quantum of the exact same PB grade of the same rank could be different?

For example, two officers of MX11 getting 2.9 mths and 3.5 mths for exact PB grade of B shown in the PB letter?

I am also interested to find out. Anyone can share more insights?
