You must learn how to smoke for your interview.
How you do well for your interview, you can go to learn.

My contract also expiring 1st April. I checked with jobline they have already send notification to company but no news. Jobline told me is usually 3 months before expiry will inform...

But I check with my RO, she can't give me answer cause she also dunno my outcome..
Seems like it's not her call, headcount or budget or something.

Oh well time to move on, work here for 4 years..
Time to start elsewhere from the bottom again.

I feel for you. Suddenly during bad years contract never renew regardless of performance.

It's not personal, it's just business...

So don't be personal with colleagues.

try harder again next time

Then restart your career la, to be honest, this is your choice which you have chosen to stay there doing nothing for the past 4 yr and earn the $. so, i think you can only blame urself.

Now is up to you whether you wan to suffer a bit of pay cut and move on to something which you can learn and grow yourself or continue to do nothing and rot there.

We already know who is what grade based on daily interaction at work.

Don't need to wait until one magical day to "waste time and productivity" to do grading.
You mean you can't tell who is performing and who is not performing?

Can't tell who come to work on time who come late everyday?
Can't tell who always make mistake at work or who double check their work?
Can't tell who takes 3 days to response with tai chi excuse and who actually took action to resolve the issue?
Can't tell who is professional with technical knowledge and who is just ********?

If can't tell, then my friend, your grading is just for $ and bonus and promotion and power.
So. Get back to work.

The issue is with convincing the bosses who have the final approval on the grading. Your supervisor can have the best impression of you but you can get the worst grading if the bosses don't agree with your supervisors with their "wide range of information sources".

People will no mind no bonus if the company is not doing well BUT they were taken care of nicely by the company on good days. Given how a huge percentage of staff feel even during good days, I can see how morales are greatly affected during COVID-19, especially with many bosses who are very bad with words / PR.

If the boss need so much convincing of your performance....
Then your performance doesn't speak for itself...
Your first time working ah?

Everybody know you should jus aim for not below average can liao.
Default is average. Want exceed expectations ah? Unless you are involved in million dollars project, almost no chance...

Just slack la. Good bonus means need to do more.
Just slack you are getting bonus for not doing any work.

Your analogy is funny. It's precisely the bosses have no idea of what the engineers are doing that is why they need the supervisors to sell the engineers. When the engineering teams are hand-tied due to lack of tools and the unwillingness of the management to invest in new methodologies, the teams get the blame. The teams make recommendations to management for budgeting, rejected due to cost. Teams ask to go course upgrade, rejected due to not in budget.

You have no idea how stuck in the well some bosses are when it comes to the latest technology and practices. Give you sand and water but expect you to build a cement house.

Probably you put on the best wayang show for your bosses to see.
