Salary survey 2008

Today i had my (long overdued) FY07 Salary review with boss today.

It has been fruitful, and boss gave positive comments and areas which i have to work on, which is really fantastic.

Though there was some parts that could not lead to the completion, as apparently i filled the wrong form for that part, but looking forward to completing that.

At the very least, for the first part, i've some improvement, at a score of 3.16. Well, at least i have about three 4s, and about four 2.75's. (2.75 means it's not really achieve that yet, so need to gambatte gambatte).

Next week, i need to schedule for final salary review for everyone, so earth9-ers, look out for it, if u are reading this (which i doubt it).

Anyway, to prep everyone, i've searched out an article that shows the salary survey for this year, which is a shocking average at
5% increment.

I myself got a shock when i saw it. 5% means a miserly $90 increment if it applies to me (wha lao, really worst than peanuts, why i think it's around the size of a mustard seed). Man! the govt should be more generous with their estimation la.



This is how a handful of mustard seeds look like. So imagine 1 mustard seed.


VERY, Very, Very SMALL! How many mustard seeds will make a peanut?

I read someone's blog, where she was pissed at getting a 3% increment, after a year's hard work, putting in weekends and extra hours. Morale fell to a new low.

What i can say is, the person's company is super giam-siap. They want to close shop already since they are pissing ppl and inviting them to 跳槽.

I doubt coy will fall under this category, but then, prep for it, because there may be a probability that the increment may not be as fantastic as estimated.

i have to temporarily say adios to my targetted $300 increment. =( (based on that salary survey,i think i will really umchio if i can get $200 increment). i'm still having faith, as small as a mustard seed, that a miracle can happen.
