Not sure if sarcastic, but as a GEO4 who got A during one of the covid years, my MI was only about $180.

Thanks ah.

If you're saying that teachers are paid too low and cannot afford BTOs, you're essentially saying that BTOs are out of the reach of a large segment of the Singaporean population.

We're talking about younger teachers starting out here. Should they really be aiming for 600k to 800k btos when they're just starting out in their careers? Whatever happened to financial responsibility and thinking long term. You have a long career ahead of you, there's nothing stopping you from buying a more expensive house as both your incomes increase. Why must have it now when you're only establishing yourself in the workplace.

Really is entitlement mentality.

Lololool..
SEO big fuk

Should a teacher couple 2-3 years working really think that they're in a position to get a new flat in a premium area? Too atas to stay in a normal area like the rest of peasants is it.

Despite pulling above weight, colleagues who joined 1 year later and always trailed behind interms of equivalent performance and salary point now draws the same pay as me just after promoting to Geo 4 this year. Verified the numbers as we have all along been open about sharing: one of them felt bad for me.

Apart from the generic email found in intranet, anyway knows where we can give our feedback more effectively?

has anyone tried asking or giving feedback to HR for this?

Try it out, and if you realise it's not for you, you can write in to withdraw anytime.

Thank you for your advice! You are right, nothing to lose.

Congrats! How old are you? Are you a scholar and KP?

Not like they will do anything right?

They can't be like, oh dear, you are indeed very cham. Lai, give you special pay adjustment to restore your pay to be higher than colleagues who join later than you.
