for ST Engineering, normally there is no increment for contract to perm

do only well-performing officers get picked for secondment?

Sounds like SISIR to PSB to Tuv Sud

What!? How is this possible?

I will not mention the company but suffice to say that as part of the government's plan to privatise and incentivise some of its service provider units to make them more efficient, and nimble in hiring (& firing) talents, quite a few departments/ organizations were made into statutory boards (SB) or private companies over the years. I happened to be working in one such department. In the process, I have to "resign" twice - once from the civil service and another time from the SB to become an employee of the fully privatised company. All the while I was and still am working in the same company ! Company logo changed each time and so has my title.

So what about the company culture? Has it changed along with the status of the company from being a civil service agency to a SB to a private company?

Most certainly yes! As a civil service department, we deal with other CS departments/ministries on equal footing. As an SB, we were still very much considered a CS outfit, except we had more flexibility in deciding bonuses and employment terms. Now as a private outfit, we find ourselves way down the foodchain in terms of standing and dealing with the SBs and CS. Sometimes, in fact, quite frequently, we were looked at as a vendor! For newer staff to the company, they would not know the difference, but for me as a veteran in the company, the change in status is sometimes too painful. Especially when you have to deal with former colleagues who have remained in the CS.

Workload wise, we now have to proactively look for business unlike in CS where we wait for work to be assigned to us. We have to worry about bottom line now. Bonuses are more varied and the spread is wider between top and bottom performers. And of course, you can be asked to go if you dont make the cut.

Anyone can advise on what I should write for my siblings' details as I have lost contact with one of them. Would the last known details (and indicating that we lost contact) be sufficient? Anyone knows if they are very stringent regarding siblings' details?

TIA

You can write your siblings names and such. For details that you are unsure, you can fill in NA. It also depends on the level of clearance which makes the g50 to be more stringent.

He wants to go into private sector but i'm trying to convince him not to - citing that private sector is super cut throat and hard to hit 10k. He's in one of the very niche / specialised area (i.e. not banking / accounting etc) so it would be hard to find another job.

would like to hear how you guys would convince someone like him to stay in civil service? like what are the benefits of staying in CS and the cons of being in private sector?

i myself am in private sector so I am terrified of being fired and not being able to hold the family together. imagine both of us in private sector - oh man.

It may be a good idea for him to move out and find new pastures. A scholar with 3-5 years and below 10k is not doing so well.

Hi

Thanks for the enriching information and humorous discussion (at times) shared by all posters here. It has given me a good background on the civil and public service.

Anyone can advice the estimated monthly gross for the post of 'Manager' respectively in spring and cpf?

- 3 years private working experience
- NUS Second upper
- With NS

Respective HRs are insisting that the salary offered is 'pegged' to a % increment of the last drawn and they cannot deviate much.

Thank you and best regards for 2018!

You believe? That is standard HR talk. If you earning 10k before that, how they pay you 10k + % increment?

Can someone roughly estimate a top quartile performance civil servant's pay 8.5 years after graduation from a local uni with a first class honours? I'm in the private sector and would like to know how I am doing relative to my peers in the public sector.
