It's absolutely bananas that your pay is correlated more strongly with age/YOE than anything else, including the impact of your work.
What's ridiculous is that in private sector, remuneration is based on one's appointment, less so on pay grades.

A person working in the capacity of HOD will be paid a HOD salary, not an exec's salary. Yet we see people taking on appointments 2-3 pay grades higher on top of their normal work, while drawing a low pay.

And salary increments can increase by 10-20% jumping across companies. It is also possible to negotiate one's salary.

This is not possible in CS. Jumping across ministries or stat boards usually see a pay cut. And there is no room to negotiate for salaries. You either take whatever salary HR offers, and don't take the job.

When you mean management as a teacher - could you elaborate on this?

Like HOD?

Most SH and HoD roles are redundant in MOE, mostly creating non-teaching work for the sake of their portfolio.

The non-teaching work trickles down from the rot on top. Every Workplan Seminar chut new pattern. Every year chut new national PD direction. Everytime something happen chut new directive (teacher-counsellors, mental health buddy, bla bla). Are all these created by SH and HOD level? They're created by people who are so far removed from the reality on the ground.

Yes it's true that the way some SH and HOD interpret their KRAs leads to a big mess in schools, but I would say they hardly 'create' any of this nonsense.

The focus on holistic education is really driving all the extra work created

You are apparently one of those oblivious commenters who are not in the teaching fraternity, but making senseless comments and asking obvious questions on this forum. Like duh?

By now you should realize that teach should not be confined to academics, but rather soft skills and character building as well. Coaching students to get distinctions in national exams does not imply that the child can survive the test of life ahead.

Not denying this, but it's not as if much of the larger Singaporean society does, either.
