Read the hypothetical story below and who’s the first person that comes to your mind?
The leader with a BIG EGO
When I joined fresh out of school, I had a fantastic interview process. I was promised employee development and autonomy. It was so exciting! I worked in that position for 2.5 years after school, and I would say that within 12 months, I realized that I didn’t love the job and the manager that I worked for was not a real leader. He was a boss. He had an ego, was petty, and generally, didn’t have much of a care for the growth and development of the team and instead took every opportunity to make it clear that he was the boss.
I worked hard and cared deeply for my work, but I never felt recognized. In 2.5 years, I was never offered an authentic nor fair performance feedback. My boss never took the time to build rapport with anyone on the team. The relationship was strictly professional. He was the boss and I was the employee, not a person.
I write this and feel so compelled too, because I know that there are many others in my situation now. I’ve since moved on from the position and I’m as happy as ever in a new role that I love. I’m working with a leader who truly cares for me, both professionally and personally. In some ways, you don’t realize how frustrating or stifling a situation is when you’re in it, and you need to get out of it to see how truly bad it was.
What leaders can learn from this
Having power doesn’t open the door for you to abuse it. Please read and practice Radical Candor so you can lead a high performing team without putting your humanity on the back burner. As leaders, it’s important that we foster psychologically safety on our team. It enables open communication and continuous two-way feedback. As a result, you have a better understanding of how to best motivate your team. The easiest way to foster psychologically safety is to be vulnerable first. Lead by example and set the tone of open, honest communication with your team so they feel more comfortable doing the same with you. If you want to keep the team engaged, be genuinely interested and invest in their growth and development.. When you don’t prioritize growth and development, you’re actively disengaging your team.
Wah even civil servant also get minimum 5% increment, and yet HR dares to claim we are competitive. I don’t know what kind of benchmarking is done to arrive at those conclusion, but whoever is doing it is definitely getting high increments and solid RSUs for pulling off a con job on all Singapore employees (except for those in senior leadership position). Wtf
Anyone has idea about coming hyperinflation?
Hope we can get news once economy come on track again.
Good for KPMG
SINGAPORE - Audit, tax and advisory services firm KPMG Singapore will raise salaries for the majority of its local workforce of 3,200 people and invest $30 million in a learning programme to improve their skills and knowledge.
The starting salaries for its entry-level professional staff, in particular, will increase by up to 20 per cent, KPMG said in a media statement on Thursday (May 19).
Well, this have been on going for years not only in SSM but the whole entire organization. Recent 2-3 years it is getting worse just that the leadership team still don’t want to accept that there is flaws in our ranking system .
These SSM SLSes need to be reported and trigger an investigation. If this statement is true, most likely they have been practicing for many years. Which means these UM SLSes must be rooted at SSM for more than 5 years. I think I know who and will be reporting to controllers and HR, sayonara bye bye to their careers.
Hey SSM old bird SLS, please don’t gang up and attack other SSM new bird SLS during during ranking session. Pre alignment prior to ranking session is not very ethical, strategy to shoot other sections people down and bring your own section people up the rank. What the Fxxx! After many year still the same. What is the point of having DH and HR sitting inside during the ranking RK moderate? Day 1 already so wayang!
Don’t Let Stock Options Keep You From Leaving a Job. With competition fierce for top talent, your new employer might cover those equity-based awards. If not, there are strategies to help keep them.
The oldies should know this is a top down approach company. Nobody dares to deviate any instructions from the top. Just follow and make your boss happy (meet their kpi and do cca that can make them showy) .. that's your stairways to top rank! That's how the ranking system works if you still dono the rules of the game. Whatever you write doesn't matter if your boss doesn't fight for you. And if you stand in the pov of the local "bosses", they also need to make their bosses happy ma. That's the fact of life, it's a dog eat dog world.
@avzar+16zEvLP3
Unfortunately, they will never admit they have fallen bec they are no leader. Without admitting one is sick , one will never seek remedy or cure. They are mere mgr although in their usual self denial state ( consistent behaviour on how they manage business and pple) self proclaimed to be leader… it’s sad to see how a once great company walking down the path of obsolete and irrelevance. RIP
My humble suggestion to GT or local LT.
How to rebuild the trust, low morale, etc…of the work force;
‘Get up from where you fall!!’
Go visit EM India Careers search and you will find out which are the jobs are in the line of fire of being TMTS.
GE already abandoned forced ranking long time ago bec it created ruckus and counter productivity and amplified the already flawed and inequitable (eg some jobs are operational hence base load is high but Low weightage in ranking whilst some jobs are developmental , Low base load but advantage in ranking . Can’t believe I need to highlight this to the mgmt … obviously they are incompetent ) ranking system. Guess what Em is doing ? We are embracing it as the new order , so common sense will tell us that this company going forward can only regress rather than advancing . It’s no rocket science . As I said before , we have mgmt who hasn’t seen the world outside living in the bubble cocoon thinking they are damn smart especially the current LCM ….. she wants to change the company , naive to think that by tweaking and changing a few parts here and there in this more than an ancient old machinery will turn it into a mean fighting machine like a transformer ? Obviously you haven’t seen the world enough.
If you have the ability and capability, the door is always open.
Only reward the top 10% with stock is a failure and not to forget 90% are the one running the business.
Without the 90% worker bees, can the top 10% walking around doing just show and tell?
I guess we have enough of complains or thoughts EM is currently putting everyone through. But I believe we gotta move ahead somehow.
Anyone have any concrete suggestion or plan how should we move forward (if you are still in the company) to turn things around. If not, feel free to voice out your opinion too.
I believe there are many “spies”(SLS/DH/Perhaps LCM/pets) in this forum. Might probably provide management some idea how we think from the ground. (Only if anyone do cares about it and can take it as our true feedback)
Let me start with one.
I think EM management could have really understand how ground level works or individual base role each of us hold or should do. I find it amusing to only focus on the other achievement one does to rank individual. No one actually care much about base role.
One with Base role (lousy), few non based role achievement will rank higher than one with base role (excellent), no non based role achievement.
Don’t think this is the culture EM would want to have have. No hard feelings.
Our LCM is clearly NSI material, since the morale is pi-s poor and even though the company is raking in record profits, all we got was thank you and high attrition.
It’s okay if there’s no high increment. You can always EMagine to have high ones.
It’s more expensive to recruit, hire, and train new people than to invest in your existing employees. Why not offer retention raise instead?
#EMcrement #retEMtion
The writing is on the wall. The demise of a titanic is near. Meantime , just buying time before the final closing of the curtain .. May be another 5 to 10yrs ? The mgmt such as LCM and cronies will walk into its tequila sunset… some will sink with the ship … some strangle in the sea
Even we work for fun, this is also not a fun place to work. High workload, unappreciative bosses and system to tell you that you need significant improvement after you busted your a-s to meet deadlines. Am I missing where the fun is?
We are here to work for $ and not here to do volunteer. EM just finding reasons not to pay more. one very ridiculous boss ever said, the door is always opened in front of the team!
Forget it.
Exxon is not going to increase the pay to retain talents, because "money is not the only motivation factor".
Fxxk. They think people come to "work for fun", ridiculous thoughts.
Even micron pays more than EM now……
So no pay adjustment for experienced and senior ones? I heard some semicon company increased 15 to 20% of salary. The only way is to jump for increment soEM can hire no experienced fresh grads with higher pay.
Market pays the best grads more… $4.8k is so little that we can’t hire good people, no one wants to join EM now. What a laugh!
New hire 4.8k + 5% = 5k WOWW
Any company you go, no such stupid LSP, MOC, etc... unless paper work.
All just Wayang, but getting high pay but still complaining.
It’s always like this. LCM will feel she’s underpaid for a job that’s just reporting upwards, whereas for all of us working hard on the ground making things happen- we are deemed to be overpaid, and more expensive than other countries’ workers. This just sucks.
@aekqo+16zEvLP3 LCM has been saying to everyone in the past 2 years that she believes SG folks are overpaid… haven’t you heard at least once somewhere? If new hire 4.8k… i can’t imagine this LCM she must be hopping mad
@ajeod+16zEvLP3 Don’t like it, quit lor. If you are good enough to be hired by other companies go ahead. I doubt!
@ajeod+16zEvLP3
Bro why such reaction.
FLS of tomorrow
KNN what kinda stoopid fxxk training is this
Technicians the ones doing fls job
Fls working is talking
Can you not get ranked and still get promoted or increment?
@afgym+16zEvLP3 Everything is done for show lah! That clown end work late also want to post on social media. Wayang queen.
Work smart not work hard.
We only have “Care Pack” but no Mid Year Adjustment. Do you think they are really “Care”?
Why are we still using a 2 year old thread.
