Wow gxgx newbies

GEO4 subject head(confirmed) + HOD(internal) here. A grade for past 3 years but still waiting for promotion. Salary has been crawling very slowly. Even A grade merit increments in Apr 2021 and 2022 were 160-180 max. These MI quantums used to be given for C or C+ grades. RA for SH is peanuts.

Damn sian now. The GEO3 teachers that are just out of BT-ship are actually catching up in pay. SEO colleagues are widening the gap even further.

This is really very sad. I'm very shocked at the MI for A grades. For outstanding performance and efforts, that amount is really not justified.

Just wondering, will the 2 yrs of NS count towards the years in the CONNECT plan?

I'm not the OP but yes, the merit increments during covid years were depressed by a LOT. Last time C grade can give you $170 at geo3, geo4. Last time B grade is easily 200+. Now you want 170? Minimum B grade.

Is it still worth working so hard then?

No.
After the initial BT years where I slogged so hard, I’ve learnt to take work easy.
Just do the bare minimum and leave work.
