If the pay is also about $5-6k, doesnt matter if the increment is less than $100. :D

it is okay if you want to bash PAP. not my boss mah. but if you want to bash then respect other for their view too. no point start classifying ppl just because they are different view.

he Asst/Deputy Director mah.. maybe average hons but good working attitude leh...

 

or best.. all the good candidates leave liao end up he is the only one to promote [:p]

 

i got a friend in JTC, around 29, he already Asst/D Director and drawing around that figure. First class Hons. but his colleague who are older are getting lesser and not promoted as fast.

 

btw, he wasnt on fast track just that his department have lots of oppounity for him to how his worth. a smart fellow from humble family background. very smart too.

yes...the mkt adjustment makes up more for any increment given annually....a rough gauge is that the overall addition can be abt 4-5k annually...and depending on the overall structure and timing, got payback to the time summore

hmm. i'm pretty sure a engineer in mnc at 32 dont draw 6k.

 

if that is average for civil service, i think it's a pretty good deal

I'm working with a local agency now and they take good care of all the staff. Most of us are locals, but we have a few FTs who truly are talents. Integrate well with us and work well with us. That's the kind of FTs we like and need. Problem is, now we got all these mudder fudder jokers coming in here with sloppy work performance and see us no up. Like that tiong family who actually wanted their Indian neighbour to stop cooking curry. Shocking part is that the gahmen actually agreed with the tiongs.

 

Anyways, came here to say that most local SMEs are very good when it comes to giving priority to locals in terms of hiring and keeping employees happy. MNCs, not so much.

 

Ya, I remembered that incident too. Really [mad] at the PRC family. If they want to relocate to another country, they should be prepared for cultural difference. If they just want to transplant their lifestyle from China to Singapore, might as well go back to China or wherever they were from.

 

no leh. from exp. mnc pay is over rated. maybe just for the top top few performers pay is fantastic. for the rest it's so so nia.

 

if you are average. join the civil service for above average pay and job security. [laugh]

 

Guess it's the overrated ones that people remember lor, haha [laugh]

yeah. i guess so. good things about civil service is that opp open up , they prefer to promote from within than to hire from outside.

 

in mnc if my manager quit, they usually hire from outside rather than promote.

 

at least that my observation.

correct....ppl have to look at the big picture and not look and nitpick over the smalle petty things like increments

 

aiyah how much u give, ppl also not happy...money is temporary, a good work life balance is priceless and that that $$$ cannot be bought

 

if ppl only look at the $$$, true to my word, they are not worth any salt

The garbage man is highly trained in what we would last time call the Vocational Institute. He knows how to operate complex machinery and is highly efficient at his job thanks to the specialised training.

 

yea, im surprised ppl can call the west a complete mess. I doubt they even visited those places.
