Reasons not to sign on
-
With the glooming economy, having an iron rice bowl is a factor to consider. together with the many bonuses and recent pay rise, a career in the police force is looking to be quite good.
But than again, what is the reasons not to sign on?
-
Because of the life in service.
-
like, which aspect?
abit too general leh, say life in service
-
Sorry, kua salah....thought you talking SAF.
-
because of all the sai kang and arrows...
-
in corporate world less sai kang?
-
promotion is slow.
increment is little.
no Overtime
Working hours are long
Off-days are burnt
constant change of management (guess this happens very often)
On the good side.
Pay is structured and stable
Leave are alot
Annual IPPT makes u fitter (for most)
welfare and benefits are gd
you are contributing to the security of our country

actually, the same happens in govt service. for both cases, they are call elites/scholars.
normal people in corporation/ civil promote rather slowly....

ya.
sorry.
im refering to JOs. yeah. the JOs promotion rate are slow. and frm what i observe, most of the timme, the first two numbers of your pay is around your age.
the promotion rates for SOs are fast, esp those on LMS and Overseas scholarship.

for my department.we have monthly HLS/In-service. its different from land division coz im frm a staff department.
we have our fruits day, Recreation training time, good facilities within the compound such as gym etc. my own sub-departments holds our own birthday celebrations, JO-SO sharing session n stuff. so it was quite a wonderful experience
im still 18, ORD few weeks back from the force. now working in a SME, so the benefits/welfare is still not very adequate. so i felt that my time in SPF was better in terms of benefits/welfare.
