But there are also those who are planning to throw letter etc after PB.

There are also those who did a lot, took a lot of arrows, but the PB didn't match their time and efforts.

I can be just a GEO4 who did school wide impactful projects, but only got a grade C with 1.5 quantum. I know perhaps any template reason can be used by KPs or SLs to justify, so there's probably no point comparing or wondering why too.

My title says it all. Esp those criticizing against GEO5 who dont do enough by ppl hell bent on climbing. As if its possible for ALL teachers to climb. This ranking **** is a zero sum game and inadvertently demoralizes the average performer who is doing the real job of educating ppl.
KPs get off loaded from normal classes etc. mark less etc. aren't the normal teachers the one who gets the real work done? See what happens if all teachers become ambitious and start doing all the school planning work, and dont give enugh time and attention to individual kids. See what parents will say.
For now i hope that parents of kids being taught by these ambitious teachers complain against them

MOE has also indicated that the CONNECT Plan will be enhanced. Starting from 2023, there will be an overall enhancement of about 20%, and the annual deposit quantum and payout ratio will be raised to better support teachers in the earlier years of their careers.

Assuming a linear 20% increase, this will be an estimated payout of $18,240 at the first payout year (an increase of $3,040), $28,800 at the second payout year (an increase of $4,800), and so forth, for a total of $202,560 (an increase of $33,760). Given that the enhancement is intended to better support teachers in their early careers, it is possible that the CONNECT plan will be adjusted to have a higher payout in the first few payout years. This will only be confirmed in 2023 when the CONNECT plan is officially enhanced.

Yup, will increase by about 20%. Remember to set up SRS to make contributions to reduce amount of tax for that year. Otherwise your income might overflow to the next tax bracket
