What is whose side you are on? I thought there’s only one side to be on, which is your bosses.

Promotion. Personally I think it’s unfair that some people who only has a few years of relevant experience can get promoted just from one or two shiny new project. And cos of quota squeeze out others who are arguably much smarter, far more years relevant experience and many other projects, even if they are not as shiny. If you look at past shiny projects, over the years some of the shininess have faded, or got superseded, which is why the implementation are then deprioritised.

Yeah in that sense, that's like in the case of unfair bosses la. But usually one shiny project is good enough to last you for years (definitely to get promoted). Here is not so much what you can do or know, but more of whose side are you on.

Anyway your boss told you there is no office politics? Which office has no politics de? It is just how bad it is. Seriously is from another planet (joking)......

Got another reason, p*ssed off coz others “less deserving” got promoted although far less yoe and only one big shiny project to boast of

Got politics? Got one boss insist to me before there is no office politics, so is that they are on different planet?

From what i know, most of my friends who leave, either is sick of the environment (politics, bullying bosses, no psyche safety etc), job scope change (cos here can pivot like siao), or yeah just the simple beautiful reason of really higher pay and progression outside.

One can recall the mass exodus not too long ago from TG (esp the div heads), which i am sure alot can attest as to why people leave (although there is also replacement).

Actually for those who don’t have personal involvement or tiagong about certain incidents or issues or depts, it won’t be so easy to infer.

Nothing is all bad or all good, a lot depends on who you need to work with. If you have a look at the comments on other agencies, they are even more pointed, here considered quite good already!

But I think the main purpose of identifying certain kinds of behaviour here and what not, is to give people a "true" picture of this organization. It's not a bed of roses like what is portrayed out there, people should not only know the good, but have just as much view of the horrific before they join...
