Pay in a stat board
 

Hi,

Anyone know of the pay for a second lower, non-ns in a stat board?

My background:
2nd upper EEE from NTU, not a scholar, graduate in year2000

Year 2000 ($2500mthly gross) to 2007 ($3500 mthly gross) - Private sector
Job satisfaction : Ok, got sense of achievment in term of project work and outcome

Now - 38 year old .

Stat board : Airport
Starting pay was $3.7K in 2007
Now $4.7K gross monthly salary (doesnt include the bonuses).
Average performer: Every year default C grade (1.5mth PB)
Employment: 2years + 3 years contract (Not even perm)
Job satisfaction : Lousy, alot of backstabbing, non-ethical because of PB. Bosses just want to protect own backside. Different team within division will try to push responsiblity to the others when things happen. Job is more focus on writting "beautiful" essay (may be non-ethical and does not reflect the actual situation) to get extra funding and pushing responsibility to other party. The main objective/ motto is : As long as the ball is not in my court, it none of my business. If something happen, pass the hot potato to someone else.

Forgot to add:
PB for DIV 1 officer in stat board (Airport)

Garde D/E: 0 mth (Prepare to leave, :( due to stepping on tails of bosses)
Grade C : 1.5mth (Default for non-scholar)
Grade C+ : 2mths (Default for non-scholar who send emails middle of the night, pretend to be working)
Grade B : 2.5 mths (Default Scholar grade)
Grade B+ : 3 mths (Default for scholar who send emails middle of the night, pretend to be working)
Grade A : 4mths (V Rare - need to write sexy report by immediate supervisor to justify)

PB for DIV II officer (Non-grad) in stat board (Airport)

Garde D/E: 0 mth (Prepare to leave, due to stepping on boss's tails)
Grade C : 0.75mth
Grade C+ : 0.85 mths
Grade B : 1 mths
Grade B+ : 1.25 mths
Grade A : 1.5 mths

thank you for the insight, i almost apply the stat board that you are mentioning. I am no better, i am working in this type of environment everyday (government sector also), as long as i don't die, other people die nevermind. and also carry the right ASSES.

Hi,

I read some of the posts here and i am really puzzled.
It seems that some are very poor paid even after university degree.

I have some questions and hope those who did post here can clarify so i can understand why the situation is so.

1. Was your university degree from singapore or overseas ? And what was your specialisation ?
2. Was your first degree obtained through a full time study or part time study ?
3. Are you a singaporean or PR or foreigner ?
4. Are there any unique points in your situation ? Physical abilities restriction ? etc

I would not make personal comments and i am seriously trying to understand the situation as to if the problem lies with employers mindsets or is there just lack of opportunities in the area of specialisation ?

Eg from the post below after 12 years from uni and only earning 3000 is prevalent, then it is really a worrying problem.

When you say "Airport" do you mean Changi Airport or CAAS? I thought that Changi has already been "privatised" so Changi Airport employees no longer consider civil servant?

But either way your description sounds bad ... was thinking of jumping ship from another stat board and applying there because its very close to my house.
