This is totally BS.

Non degree, start from GEO1. Need to slowly climb GEO 2,3 also.

And it is extremely uncommon for 2 promotions in 2 years

i know of people who have been trying for years to transfer out simply coz of location, but fail everytime due to "excess headcount". also know of people who kena blocked from transferring or leaving coz school got shortage.

unless u are saying, be despo enough to change to whatever dumping ground is available e.g. random closed posting or do cross level deployment all the way till kindergarten

There's so many places to go... other schools, HQ, secondment, further studies, cross-level deployment... if transferring out means to the perfect "everyone want to go", of course easily rejected. Not sire about the blocked open posting, so far haven't heard of.

Certainly heard of colleagues who wish to apply for open posting but got blocked within their school.

Anyone ever heard that a P would need to explain to Supt if there is more than 10 outgoing tcr?

Got a colleague who has cleared interview, got released by P of current school, and accepted by P of receiving school.

But HR blocked the transfer, because of shortage of teachers.
To allow the transfer, HR needs to post in a replacement teacher.

Think because a replacement couldn't be found, the transfer was blocked centrally by HR, and the teacher was told to try applying for OPE the next year.

How can a P block open posting? The most they can do is delay your release date. P will definitely speak to a staff when he/she applies for OPE and try to persuade them from not leaving. Only the staff can choose whether to apply or not. Maybe some Ps might say negative things like “you’ll never get it”.

If you apply for OPE, and go for interview and aced your interview and get an offer, no P can stop you. The most they can is delay your release date. This is our system. Don’t be fooled.

sounds entitled.

no one cares if promotion is by obvious merit but not by undeserved "through train"

it is like the current IP system. some got in sec 1 through their PSLE or DSA, then even if the students do not perform well in Junior High, they still get to go to Senior High due to flaws in the system, depriving deserving O level students of their places in a JC.

Promotion
 
Anyone caught wind of their promotion?

Quite sure many here have faced this issue before, so asking for some solutions here.

Anyone's department had a few people leaving at once before? So from what I know, a few have already informed P they are resigning by the end of Sem 1, but there is still no news of any incoming replacements, regardless of whether it's a BT or experienced officer. These are also resignations, not transferring to other places, so P cannot block.

FAJT quota in the school is already completely filled up by other departments which are also severely lacking manpower.

Worst case will be for the remaining officers in the department, KPs included, to be overwhelmed and timetables totally redone until some new manpower becomes available, which is something everyone hopes to avoid.

No one will be posted in until these staff have officially left the system. HR doesn’t provide headcount in advance. Need to really relook into the school deployment and see if there are any issue with deployment issue as it seems like so many departments are understaffed.
