Wow.. $350 per year of flexi benefit. Goodness sake, this flexi benefit is applicable throughout almost every single stat board in Singapore. Not only exclusively available @ CAAS.atozprime wrote:To ye_lavinia. You know alot about ATC as you are already part of the family. I am a ATCO for about 10 years plus. This is my 1st job and if circumstances allow, I would like to stay on till my retirement. Like what you have mentioned, lots of things are 'conceal', not made clear before you sign the bond. But if I have not mistaken, recent batches of new PATCOs, 90% are graduates. If in the 1st place 'you' are not attracted by the 'pay package', why did you sign the contract ( with your eyes open)? If there are doubts in the 1st place, why didn't you clarify them before signing the contract? Yes our depatment are indeed short of staff, but I don't think HR will go to the extend fo 'conning' pple into the job. Or you are being held at gun point when you sign the contract.
You have listed down most of the negative points about ATC, our department, HR....etc etc... what about the good points? If there aren't any good points why are you still here? Don't tell me you are bonded cos we all know that piece of contract can't really hold you back if you really want to leave.
In every organisation, be it as small as a family own business or MNC, there are bound to be 'cock up'. Negatives and positives. It's a matter of personnal perceptions and how you view them.
For example, CAAS reimburse you a extra of $350 a year for flexible benefits, though it is not really that big a amount, but can you name any other company that does that? For married officers, each child is entitled up to 5days of paid medical leave. Again, can you name which company actually does that before the recent pro family life policy actually begins?
My question again is, if you are really so unhappy with your current job, why are you still there? Bear that in mind that there are still many old farts in that department who have worked their entire work life as a controller and retire as a controller.
If you are so keen in climbing the coporate ladder then why in the 1st place you joined as a ATCO? You sign the contract as a ATCO, not ATC manager. ATC planner etc etc etc... ...We are all adults and when we sign the contract, all are laid down in black and white. I believed you should still have a copy of your contract. If at any point if you think that you were mislead or CAAS have 'conned' you, you can always take legal actions. Why keep whinning?
For those who are interested in joining ATC, why not ask HR for a visit. Why not ask HR to arrange Q & A sessions with ATCOs of different levels?
Hope this will paint a clearer picture that ATC here is not as bad as you think.
