The industry has always been like this , for decade.

Just that it is considered one of the iron rice bowl job

You will get different answer depending on how you ask.

Let’s put it this way… is Primary One to Primary Six automatic?

Strictly speaking, the answer is No. because you still need to take exams, and pass.

But the success rate is like 99.99%. Among my friends no one retain before. But it’s not completely unheard of for people to retain. You have to be quite lousy or offended a manager.

Historically, good performance alone will move you up from A1 to AM. Only AM to M1 is like PSLE where you see more people fail to make it.

In recent years we see quota become a thing. The firm needs to forecast and manage its manpower needs. So even if you do well, if they only need 100 Managers, and you rank 101, then too bad lor.

No, my batchmate didn't progress cause her performance was poor.

Not auditor problem. This is the younger generation strawberry thinking.

Then the seniors have to compensate for this kind of thinking, saying "oh last time i treated like this, so now u all have to go thru the same thing". And the endless hell of a spiral continues

If you promote to manager today, will you swear it on your life that you will help to break this cycle?

Will YOU be a new type of manager that helps protect the staff and let them go home at 6pm?

If not, talk is cheap.

Our firm only doesnt progress someone if they are on PIP. Thats why we always tell people can screw up but dont get PIP because future employers can see via your payslips.
