Default CEP not high enough for promotion

Scholars who are not the top scholars also have problems with CEP. I am a good performer (regularly top 30% every year). Its not easy as u get promoted higher and higher to always be top 30% but I did it. I slog past the 42h required every week, often putting in >50h per week.

Then this year, some of my peers got a promotion but I didn't. Not enough 'years in grade', said HR It cannot be my performance some it has to be the bloody CEP.

I am deeply pissed, as well as turning bitter. Where is the transparency? Who set my CEP? When was my CEP set? Why CEP cannot change?

But I recall that my salary more than triped over 10 years and the large bonuses I get for being top 30% (4.5 to 5 months every year excluding the 13th month). Then, I decide to either stay in the game, or quit and risk finding lower pay and/or same problems somewhere else. I am slightly less bitter after one week of sulking over my predicament.

Bro, I'm was in a similar boat as you. Gotten As and Bs for dunno how long already still not promoted. HR also gave the ******** answer about not having enough years in service. All things being equal, they will promote the older guy with a mouths to feed. Sometimes, even when the younger guy is better, they will still promote the older guy with a family.

In the end, I left the dept and went to another where talent is more appreciated (yes, there are still places like that, though quite rare in CS and not easy to get in). Now, I see peers of my age who are my bosses (non-scholars) and that gives me hope.

Leave when talent is not appreciated. It's the dept's loss, not yours.

LOL, working 50+ hr work week is supposed to be very "slog". Only top 30% a.k.a. above average to good performance and triple salary in 10 years is "not enough".

Amazing what counts as hard work in civil service and the sort of unrealistic salary expectations they have.

Not suprising. I have friends in public sector whole career lepak 1 corner work life balance and got cheek to complain their annual package of 200k+ is underpaid. No wonder so many of our top grads are joining paper pushing jobs in the gov.

Default Jumping from stat board to another govt agency

Hi all, I'm currently working in a stat board for 6 months and felt that the job scope was not what I signed up for.

I'm intending to apply for another job in other govt agency through career@gov. Anyone knows if my current organization's HR will be notified on this?
