same and after this year is 9 years.

Definitely the best are the SEO 1 and GEO 3. The rest are crap

haha thumbs up for your optimism...

on a side note, were there still people who got promoted in oct? if there were, which adjustment did they receive?

you're drawing 6k after 9 years in the service? that can't be right! i'm 5 years in..

Yes there r ppl 9 years still geo 3..

huh
 

they would have hit the ceiling already like 6.2k.
then some are happy to be HOT at that point? then do tuition outside.
and then, they could be earning more than geo 4 KP.

staying in GEO 3 would also have lower expectations?

How come leh? Thought if u perform satisfactory and stay on then should minimally be on track to be promoted de? 9 years GEO3 and drawing 6k is quite low tbh..

The 6k is not because of 9 years, it's because of the GEO3 ceiling. Old ceiling was 5.6k only. New ceiling is about 6.2k.

In the past the road to GEO5 was smooth as silk. Nowdays if you only 'meet expectations', get C grade every year, and your CEP is at GEO5, you can be stuck at GEO3 for 5 to 7 years before being promoted to GEO4. By then, you would be almost 7 to 9 years in service already.

There doesn't seem to be such a thing as "on track to be promoted" for ordinary performers these days. You gotta hustle super hard just to be promoted decently quickly.

The thing is you can't control anything. HR promotes you when they do, unless your SLs intervene for the better or for worse. Promote early, promote late, doesn't matter whether which one is better. You just get promoted when "it is time".

The only say that you have in the matter is: you can reject the promotion. But who knows when the next one will come. Maybe by rejecting a promotion you self-condemn to hentak kaki forever. Nobody dares to do that unless they already have a solid exit plan.

thanks for sharing. is it regular for a teacher's CEP to be GEO5 though? Thought it would be higher like HOD level.

Only if you hustle and your effort and potential are recognised. Not recognised also no use.

Or, if you are a high tier scholar.

Otherwise default CEP for teacher confirmed to service is GEO5.
