How come scholars route promo faster than experience veterans?

[sanzhu]

Some secret sauce they have?

experience means nothing. u could be doing a sheety job but just suck ur boss well.

intelligence means u can learn quickly and solve problems and face future issues. thats more important for any business than 100 years of doing the same things daily (often badly and in outdated way as well). u need a bit of experience but past 6-12m usually u are not learning anything new unless u are exposed to new stuff.

would u trust someone who took 10 years to finish a degree or someone who took 1-2 years to lead? who u want to talk to and solve problems with daily?

Sadly but true, experience is overrated……..

i am not saying smart ppl can be error free, but surely u want smart ppl to lead and solve problems not some retard hr manager than makes ur brain cells melt listening to her right? the typical lao auntie that just keeps her job by sucking up, knowing how to push blame, black wok ppl, etc....zzz...u put these ppl in charge sooner or later whole company become like forbidden palace and at best will sputter along but at worse will all cronyism and taichi masters

 

[jiakliaobee charsiew]

If no promote then talent runned away haos

Scholars means someone or some organization has punted on you as being good. Even if you behkan, the concept of doubling down on bad investment applies.

Lol

 

[Prime 13]

Letch me share ohkays.
To show me old unker ish not bullsh!t

Promotion is based on both performance and potential. How fast officers are promoted
depends on what we estimate their potential to be - i.e. an assessment of how far we think
they will reach at the end of their career. So, for example, someone with a potential to rise
up to become Permanent Secretary will be promoted faster than someone with a lower
potential. Whether the officers are actually promoted however depends on their
performance. A high- performing, high-potential officer is a high-flyer who gets promoted
quickly, rising to the top at a relatively young age. A low- potential, high-performing officer
will also get promoted, but more slowly

Speech by eddie teo, The Singapore Public Service: A development-Oriented Promotion System, Issue 1, 2002

Means if chiu are old bird with many many PERFORMANCE, chiu are still deemed to hab ZERO POTENTIAL and chiu stay where chiu are and climb at peasant rate.

to be honest i work with young valedictorians before

and i really feel they are on another level to me.

i mean seriously...if u work before its like 'wow, sibei satki this guy'...and they are very young like 25yo etc. with a bit more life experience, i think no problem leading a big company.

i work with lots of experienced long time ppl 40yo and 60yo and many if not most are really retarded, inefficient and only know taichi. too bad many managed to taichi until the top.

so if ur a smart boss, who u wanna keep around? frannkly talk a few times u already know the liao. work 1 month u already 99% know who really got liao who no liao one.

Because they are the Men/Women of Destiny. From young is fated to pick up the holy sword and slay the Demon Lord already. Don't ask too much questions.

 

[Prime 13]

Letch me quote again.

The CEP is an estimate of the highest level that an officer can reach in his or her career. Once they are assigned a high CEP, an "escalator" seems to automatically promote the officers to their CEP level - as long as they don't make mistakes. Since mistakes are punished and risks are not rewarded, it is natural for a culture of risk aversion to emerge.

Because scholars can calculate enemy movements and missile deployments by using what they studied in ten year series...

Some secret sauce they have?

They are the chosen ones with red carpet rolled out

 

[MyWill]

The twisted logic is:

When farmer do their work well, it juz means they are a good worker. It doesnt mean they proved themselves for higher appointment. Since good workers are hard to come by, farmers should continue to work.

When scholars studied well, it automatically means they have higher POTENTIAL to lead. They cork up their work is ok, since leaders are supposed to lead the farmers; not do their work.

This is sg meritocracy. And it usually leads to one phenomenon. Staffs are either very old or very young. The middle level all quit when they gasped the game.

New guy comes in

Throw his weight around

But he dunno anything

CEP is probably the dumbest thing ever

if u are leading a big company, u want the top level to at least have someone with mbas right.

if ur doing big data ai, then surely phd in ai is someone u want, who can help u solve probelms in that area or at least is at the frontier. what good is a 40y it support manager going to do.

same for many problem solving type like economists, consultants, even programming, etc
