Harsh reality where Lower Subgrades (Geo2/3) are tasked with OIC work (meant for geo4/5) and still getting C! At the end of the day, ranking compares how you performed relative to others in your subgrades and they compare the impact. Sometimes it may be even the smallest of things that differentiate C from the C like a bell curve in Uni where A grade can be 95/100 and 94/100 is a B grade. Just my 2 cents. And also whether the ranking panel value the impact of your work. The appraisal is always subjective. People look at a piece of art and say, this is worth $100. Another person looks at it and says it’s worth $10,000.

Been through the disappointment, but it forces you to ask yourself why you do what you do. Are you doing it to benefit the students, or are you doing it for the applause of men/grade. that being said, don’t let a “grade” steal your passion for teaching. I’m sure the impact you have on your students is more meaningful than what your RO may perceive.

Damn Sian. I'm already behaving like an okay man. Any Kp came to me with their project, I will just say "okay I can join". That's also the reason for me to do so many things outside of my roles. Then in the end I got a C.

TBH, I'm fine being the OIC for my CCA, cause I love my CCA and I have a very strong interest in helping the CCA members to win a Championship for the school. But now, I think I better take better care of myself. LOL.

This is my 3rd year leh. If I take 4 years to be promoted to GEO3, I rather stay GEO2 and do the GEO2 job scope all the way. I will just reject all IC roles and say I am happy and comfortable staying in this grade.

The MOE always said don't burn yourself out, but the system is forcing us or at least myself to burn. And the worst thing is burn until charcoal already, still not recognised.
