I wrote in to HR and was told that I did not "fulfill the criteria to be promoted in April". I am not sure of the reason why and which criteria they are talking about.

Anyone has any idea/was in similar situation as me and can provide some advice please? Thank you!

may i know which HR email you emailed to?

exactly. then why do they expect teachers to do so many things that are out of teaching? planning school events, professional development, after school remedial. do these for free? when they can focus on classroom teaching instead.

If you spend enough time on the ground, you should know that the real difference comes from hours spent directly interacting with students. All too often, many teachers chasing large scale projects for career progression do not do justice to their own students.

Hello, if tell you you will be promoted but not April as everyone else, need to wait till October. You okay with it meh? If there’s a legit reason for it then still okay la.

thats why im so bump abt the no promotion

2020-current, im so jaded, i just dont want to do much, but no major mistakes and maybe thats why im stuck.

im rly rly depressed abt this.

for the past few years i cried so much and been so down. i think im sinking into depression and anxiety.

Seriously, you should consider changing school or even leave the service. At the end of a day, it’s just a job and no job should bring you so much angst. There is a life out there besides working and I strongly believe that you should prioritise your mental health.

I was promoted in October too instead of April as my batch to Geo 3, back in 2014. I was on maternity leave in 2012 and 2013. I think that could be the reason.

Were you away at any point since your graduation? E.g., NPL, ML, etc. if yes, that could have affected your on-the-job work duration therefore impacting promotion timing
