Working culture @ IDA

I dun think a AD in public sector is senior at all. Most public sector unit recruit fresh degree graduates straight away as either Manager or AD.

This Amy Cheong must be a low performer because she is 30++ already when she join NTUC as AD. Since she is female and foreigner no need to serve NS, by right she should be AD by ~26 yrs old.

NTUC no choice but to play along. if they tell the truth that Amy is just a junior staff, the public will accuse them for cover up , better for them to pretend with the act. but anyone who work with gov before know how “big” a AD really is.

AD pay is just 4-6k, that's the pay of jr associate in pte companies, bullsheet title.

Not much, $100 per month for so called telecoms and $50 per month for flexi benefits.
The usual IHP clinics.
You also need to pay an insurance premium for yourself.

Yes that is true. They rule the place.
Constantly update to big boss to show doing work. A lot of boot licking, don't know anything also can, when boss around, just try to talk louder.

Just saw one guy just under 5 years, jump 2 grades (non-scholar) to management track. So long as the boss like you, you will climb regardless. Some more, this guy, time to time, you can see him snoozing off in his chair, playing games, watching online videos.

whats a management track there?

Management track starts from AD upwards. Most times, it is a difficult jump from SM to AD due to this, really depends on the soft factors e.g. boss likes you, visibility to senior level management.

It would be more helpful to indicate salary range e.g. AD G12 how much?, Director G14 - $ X-Y?
