I want to ask one thing. Does a Government Job would make me able to earn quite good till I

retire at old age or should I take my Life policy of 'Work hard and gain hard' and should go for

private jobs so as to earn so much that I would enjoy my life after 40?

I work as clerk in PSU bank and I guess my life is so much easier than officers at bank as I work

from ten to five. Promotions are there depending on degree and clearance of internal exams. It

is comparatively easier. My fiance works in private sector in night shift in finance stream and

doesn't get time to take care of himself. My sister is in I.T and hardly gets to take breaks if the

work is heavy and critical. And yet private sector guys can pursue certain passion and set up a

small business of their own.

In public sector you get a little quality time but obviously not in certain PSU's where we have to

work for 10 to 12 hours. Even if you want to earn some extra income, you can't do that in PSU.

Challenges are very less in PSU and it is monotonous sometimes. Every job has its own

difficulty. And life is sometimes not fair. Opinions differ. My sister does not prefer government

job even if it seems easy because she is a risk taker and loves challenges. I regret working in

bank sometimes as I am not a people oriented person.

I would rather work behind the scenes than dealing with bad mouthed customers. Very soon

government sectors might have to compete with private sectors. Trend is always changing. PSU

might have to change job rules to be on par with private sectors. This might happen in the

future. No job is a rosy job! I think one should live and save and create buffers in times of

unknown difficulties that might hit any time in thus changing trends of our times!

Its interesting to see the all the comments. Frankly its a never ending debate "Private sector vs

public sector: which is best". Both has its pros and cons. But Overall one can conclude post

2008 that life in public sector is better then private sector in long run. Why? Life is a marathon

and not a sprint or jump. So one needs to look his career future for a span of 33 years atleast

till age of 60 (especially for middle class families).

A Government employee can be sure from the date of joining that his job is secured till age of

60. But private sector works on "perform or perish" (this 3 words are very difficult and

dangerous in private company trust me). Its very difficult for someone to achieve every goal

(many times unrealistic) set by his company throughout a period of 33 years of job life.

Although there are some good private companies who provide good job culture and also job

security, but very few in number.

Most private sector employees in India is from IT. Trust me in IT at any moment, the world can

turn upside down for you any moment. I have been working in IT for past 6 years and know the

difficulties faced everyday. No stability!. You can go abroad in IT, but even with a slight hit of

economic downturn, you can loose your job.

So IT will provide you good fortune including onsite in the beginning of your career (say for 10-

12 years) but as you grow old, your job becomes less secured everyday as your employer will

try to replace you by someone younger albeit cheaper.

You are right and I have worked in an MNC where my work involves routine 8 hr job and my PL

used to tell that you may not have future if you don't learn other things (Those things which

always keep changing like versions 1.0 2.0 3.0 blah blah). Basically I don't like coding and I

used my software job as platform to prepare for other govt exams.

I got through it and joined in PSU bank where life is not so happy and I repented that I would

have stayed in MNC and prepare for some other good govt job. Before joining in bank I knew

that PSU bank is not a good option but some how I thought that I will clear some other exams

by working in bank, but estimation is wrong and I never got enough time since I was posted to

a rural area and daily I have to travel 2 hrs to reach my home town.

I would like to stress the same thing to you if you are comfortable in your current job and feel

that there is no immediate risk in next 2 years, then prepare for a good GOVT job (Since not all

GOVT jobs are good) this is all given if you don't have interest in coding or if you feel that

Hi Guys,

In my view, I always have a predilection for public sector jobs. I currently work in a well

reputed MNC company with 3+ years of experience. My work timings are damn good. I come to

office @9.00 AM And leave sharp by 6 PM. I do not have any work pressure, work tensions etc,

as I am into a project where we do routine tasks everyday.

I guess most of the Indian MNC companies do the same repeated work as such as in India 70%

of the IT projects are support or maintenance oriented. Having said that, one could easily have

a sarcastic smile on his face with his mind voice saying 'then why can't you people stay in IT

itself, why a sudden shift unnecessarily?'. Many of my friends and colleagues had asked me the

same question and I had a good answer for them.

When thinking about my future to stay in IT forever (at least till 40) , I had craven fears

because of the recessions, satisfying the bosses for our promotions, the workload handled to me

as I move up the ladder etc. I was not born to be a sycophantic toad anywhere and anyplace in

my life to satisfy an unknown person and begging him for my promotion and career

development.

When going through all the comments, I could observe that many people opinion for people

leaving IT is because of work pressure, staying late night, no work-life balance blah blah blah.

The truth is many people are unaware about other side of IT where people enjoy like anything

by doing the same repeated tasks on a daily basis, not required to think much, maintaining a

decent work-life balance with office hours of 8 hours a day or even less than that and getting

paid much more when compared with public sector jobs as I do.

But when such people sit and think about where their future is taking them into, there comes a

big question mark. Because in IT, only when you are a technically stuffed person, you can stay

and sustain here for a long time. But, getting a techy role totally lies in the hands of an

unknown person called as HR. I was very unfortunate to get into a techy project.

If my current project experiences a financial downturn (as estimated by 2016) , the client will

stop paying for our project and as a result, we people will again need to search for projects and

move further. The big problem in such situation is that if we are not a techy guy, getting into a

project again would be a daunting process. We should stay in one project and one account for a

long time to get our promotions, incentives and VISA processed.

These kind of unprecedented downturns will make our career feel insecured and unstabilized

and hence, we people should definitely think for a career switch to make our life secured in a

long run period.

I hope nearly 70% of the people who leave IT fall into the above mentioned cases. So, lets all

prepare sincerely and fully stay focused and never lose confidence until we get into a good

government job.

Whether one wants to work in Private (MNCs/Indian/Foreign) , PSU, or pure Government

depends upon the mindset of the person. While Private jobs especially MNCs provide higly

competitive environment and excellent career growth, pure government jobs are known for

stability and predictability.

A PSU can be best explained as blend of both. While you may see the lazy Sarkari Babus" in

pure government (not every) and corruption because of no proper monitoring, at the same time

you may see private sector guy exhausting himself to meet his target within time.

When you go to PSUs you may see the output is much better than pure Government Offices.

What PSUs score over government Or private counterparts are as follows:-

1) Higher CTC than pure central/state government, Equivalent or more than pvt. Companies.

2) Better work/family balance than private companies.

3) More Bonus/Incentives/Rewards for work excellence than pure govt.

4) More technical update for work than government Employees, comparable to pvt. Employees.

5) Better health due to no stress after work hours. High BP, sugar is common for pvt employees

after 30.

6) Salary doesn't fluctuate like that of private employees during boom and recession.

7) Concessional loans for vehicle and housing facility readily available for psu employees.

8) Duty hours more or less fixed.

We can conclude that these sectors can be compared using simple examples:-.

Private job is just like equity market, very volatile, risky but may give more returns.

Govt. Job is like PPF or bank FD which gives low but guaranteed returns for the long term.

PSU is like balanced fund, having some job security along with good returns with low risk.

A friend of mine joined an IT MNC 5-6yrs back and presently earning say 25-30% higher than

me. He says that he is satisfied with his salary but if the working conditions do not improve, he

would take retirement 10-15 years from now.

And what I feel is that if I'm allowed to work till whatever age I want, I can work upto the age

of 65-70 years. But unfortunately the age of retirement is fixed by govt. At 60 years.

So job stability, sustainability, health, family is most important than money. Best option is PSU

which balances everything in your life.

After reading much of what others have posted, it is very clear that most of the people here are

either students with no real world experience or those who have never got the opportunity to

work in a proper PSU.

Let me share my experience as I have worked in both prestigious government & Pvt.

Organisations.

1. Private sector companies push people to their limits and often exploit those who do work

hard with often limited returns. You'll not find that in PSU's.

2. Private sectors train their employees in their particular field and restrict them to it. PSU's

don't. You have a freedom to choose what you learn and where you wish to excel.

3. There is a vast difference in the talent pool that exists in PSU's compared to pvt companies.

Nowadays literally everyone works in IT companies yet most of them lack fundamental concepts

and understanding of what they are doing. This is not the case in PSU's. You HAVE to know the

details and basics for even doing your daily work.

4. Pvt. Companies hire more people than required and subsequently pay less. It is not true for

PSU's where every individual is assigned vast majority of work and responsibilities. You become

a better manager and a far more disciplined person.

The list is endless. However there is no clear winner. You should choose what suits you best.

Hi friends.

As very interesting discussion is going on, so couldn't stop myself posting some comments.

Please do not compare public and pvt. Sectors, both the sectors are equally working for

integrity and development of country. I am working in a Oil marketing company and life misery

here is not less than a pvt MNC. We also have targets quarterly as well as yearly and these all

targets are related to our PMS. And please break the myth that being in a PSU you can sit

answer relax, I am sharing you my job timing. It starts sharp at 9 AM and can extends to 7PM,

8PM or even 9, 10.

Moreover if you doing comparison of salaries, yes, PSUs pays fatter packages in beginning, but

it has steady growth 3% fixed per year and as far as DA is concerned it merely matters because

it depends upon inflation. But look at the scenario after 15-20 years, pvt MNC guys will be much

ahead of me.

Its your wish to choose private or public sector, nobody is bound. If somebody has talent he can

enter any sector at any phase of life.

Dont feel jealous of PSU or govt sector employees, they have gained it. If working on some

softwares/ typing at 80wpm/ speaking fluent English is so called 'skills' in private companies,

then make a second thought dude. PSU officers are far more intelligent and TOP RATED talent

of country, more tech savvy.

And yes we even at PSU work at Sundays and public holidays. In last six months I have not

taken a single CL/PL or any other form of leave and I am working 1000 miles away from my

that private sector is good for our new generation. Because there is a lots of drawbacks behind

the public sector. For the example, conditions of teachers in both sector. Government recruits

the teacher on the basis of marks and degree. On the other hand private schools recruit the

teachers on the basis of quality of education.

In private sector's teachers have to face the interview then after they are decided that the

teacher is eligible or not for the special subject. But in public sector, one teacher teaches all

subjects. So what would be future of students. There is good condition of school's building in

private sector school. On the other hand there is bad condition of public sector schools. So at

There is no doubt that in comparison, public sector jobs are far better than private jobs in terms

relaxation period or leisure which is needed for a happy and contented life, provided we do

perform our duty honestly and perfectly in this sector and do not fall under the evil shadows of

corruption. My point of view is that people can prefer public sector jobs as their first choice, for

which dedication and right approach towards its exam preparation should be carried out. But on

the other hand, I am not totally eradicating the value of private sector jobs Those who want to

sharpen their brainpower and utilize their skills and talents in any industry in a full fledged work

environment, can go for private sector jobs, as they always want to keep themselves updated

with the current scenario.

I am working in a PSU. For all those speaking about the easy life in a PSU. Please think again.

Most of the Indian PSUs are the ones involved in infrastructure, energy etc. Private sector

mostly caters to the corporations or entrepreneurs. These are the ones required to set up an

atmosphere of development. If people think PSU employees have no head ache and can relax,

think again. When you are involved in the operations or maintenance in these companies, a

mistake can prove costly. Any delay in production, timely fixing of equipment s can cost so

much in revenues or say power outage etc. Its not quite as comfortable as in pure govt offices

of Municipal corporations. Its all result oriented. Besides, an incident in PSU finds mentionings in

newspapers, because nothing can be hidden.

As for the learning, I think one cant keep running for long and say I want to keep learning.

Learning is good, but at some point of time, lets say in 30s priorities change and you have

family. You just cant say I want to be more involved in work and keep growing. You have to

look out for your family time, see that your children are doing well at the school and take care

of your parents. It is this time you must be there with them and PSUs give you that time after

your work hours. Besides, the facilities they provide for healthcare and other benefits.

Private sector may provide learning oppurtunities but why do you feel that they only do it? They

dont send you to school for learning. They give you a competitive environment. A result

oriented atmosphere. Why do you need stress to be a good learner? Your learning depends on

you. If you are good you will get noticed, whether you are in PSU or private. People at the top

in any industry dont get there just because they are in good books but because they are good

at the job they have been assigned.

Initially the best talent is recruited in govt or psu's but the problem with these employees is

they donot update their knowledge over years. In pvt sector this is not the case they have to

get updated with knowledge year by year for their survival. This way an average pvt sector

employee earns more skills with advanced technology than the best recruited talent of govt or

psu companies over years. The psu's talent is best initially but not over a certain time period.

Let us take a simple example of a govt teacher, when a state govt recruits, best teachers are

recruited. These teacher's get higher salaries than private teachers. Over the period the private

teachers who earn much less than the govt teachers, perform lot better than the govt teachers.

The private teachers update their methodologies, skills and try to improve the processes within

schools year by year.

The govt organizations, units and public sector companies function well only when job security

is removed. When job security is removed, people update knowledge and work hard for the

sake of survival. I agree that some psu employees work very hard, working very hard is not the

only important thing, updating skills too is equally important. Updated skills will make a person

work using advanced technologies with less effort and if people do hard work along with this,

the work quality goes exponential. With hard work the work quality will only be linear but with

updated skills and hard work combined the work quality becomes exponential.

Removal of job security forces people to update knowledge, work hard improving the work

quality and running the psu's in unimaginable profits. The psu's too will start recruiting

employees in large scale creating more no of jobs with with performance based job security,

good work life balance and decent salary.

In terms of work quality private sector wins mostly, with public sector this is not the case often

due to job security. The private sector jobs have become hire and fire jobs in recent days and

rules are becoming harsh day by day due to talent influx. The private jobs, even IT jobs salaries

have got saturated and are no more attractive than a good PSU. In present India, large

proportion of jobs are private. The private companies and even MNCs have started paying less

salaries exploiting employees even if they had earned high profits. This will make Indian rupee

shrink like anything in near future. Largely, the Indian rupee depends on how much a person

earns, the kind of work quality he produces and how much he spends. If MNCs kept on paying

low salaries people become conservative in nature, spending less and a lot of deficit budget

causing to a low rupee value. For a better India, work quality should be good and the

employees also need to be paid well something like PSU's.

Government shouldn't give any more job security in govt or public sector companies, they

definitely have to fire 5% of its employees every year, this makes the employees to work hard

increasing quality, running the companies in huge profits and creating more number of jobs

year by year. This way a PSU or govt company would earn more profits in turn creating more

number of jobs, people will start moving from pvt sector to public sector. Here no employee

gets job security, they have to earn job security through performance but they will be under the

hood of government like good salary, work life balance and strict working hours. The rupee too

will rise because most people will be working for the government with hard working style and

As per everyone's view, yeah it's true that if you work in private sector you will get promotions

as per your potential. I am working in a MNC for the last one year, and I know the pain, if you

are lucky and you get any kind manager, then you will enjoy a lot, but if you get a manager

who is totally corrupted, he will ask you to sit and troubleshoot any issue, and after finishing off

he will ask, "why you took so much time, it was very easy?". As if he knows everything.

So it completely depends on your luck sometimes and your patience and mind set.

I suggest that go for a public sector as no one will care what you are doing in office. Politics will

be there but you can easily overcome then.

In private jobs you have to "struggle for existence", after getting a job, but in a public sector it

Hello to everyone.

It was really good to read the inputs from all the people who have contributed to the discussion.

To give a an intro about myself. I am working in an Oil PSU company. Let me first differentiate

between government companies/authorities and a PSU. A government Company/authority is an

organisation fully owned by the government And is not listed in any stock exchanges (BSE, NSE

etc. ). The objective is not profit making and is setup/run for mandatory requirements. The

environment is or is perceived as relaxed with fixed work timings and guaranteed promotions.

On the other hand.

A Public sector company is an organisation with a major share held by the government It has to

follow the mandate's released by government But still have to demonstrate performance and

profit. My working hours are 8 hours a day but still I have to work at least 10 hours almost

everyday (I am working in general shift). There is a proper performance management system

for you with targets set for the financial year and marks allotted for every task set for you.

There are goals set for you individually, you department and also for your business unit and

quarterly reviews are taken.

I should say work is really tough and sometimes I have to work for few hours even on Sundays.

The work cannot stop because the delivery of work is continuous and you would be always

pointed at for not completing/delivering performance. Being lazy will not take away your job but

will also stagnate your career advancement and may also result in being posted at some remote

location or a difficult work profile. I have seen my brother working in an MNC and let me tell you

the work is not THAT bad. Yes. Different companies may have different work environments.

Ironically, I am still hung up to this job inspite of being frustrated because the Salary is really

very good. After the implementation of 6th pay commision, the salaries are high and all the

benefits have also being consolidated into an accountable Package. A very clear CTC can be

calculated and when I compare it with other companies and my friends working in Private

organisations.

I really feel like keep going. To conclude. PSU will pay you well initially with hard and Smart

work but in the later stage of your career, the salary hike is low but job security and Work-Life

balance is better which becomes more important for many people at that point of time.

Whereas, if you have a die hard Passion and determination to work very hard for the next 20

years and become the CEO earning Crores in compensation. Go for an MNC.

1. Unlike Private sector where you leave is at the mercy of you supervisor / boss, in public

sectors, abundant leaves are given for the full year.

2. The chances of growth in posts as well as monetary terms is there in private sector

depending on your ability and hard work, but in public sector this is very biased due to the

quota system. (SC/ST etc).

3. Both sectors have individual stress points. In the public sector, stress and tension prevails

depending on the post but in private sectors, stress and tension is seen in all level of

employees.

Some arguments were there regarding dishonesty in work in public sectors. I have seen the

same in private sector also. It all depends on the mentality of the individual. If you do not

respect your workplace, you are dishonest, be it in private sector or public sector.

4. Lot of additional advantages from national banks are given in terms of rates of interest and

all.

5. Most important, in private sectors you salaries are dependant on your boss' ratings and

review. But here it is not like that. Fixed salary increase after every year and pay commission.

No one's review will affect your salary.

6. Last but not the least, in public sector you can work at ease because in private sector you will

have your superior sitting above you ordering for projects.

7. In public sector also growth comes to those who work hard. It is not easy to get recognised

here. The entrance exams needs extensive study. But getting into private is all about how good

your resume speaks for you.

These are some of the features. There are many more. But making a choice of your career is in

your own hands. Use brains and make the right choice for you.

Hi friends.

I think it completely depends on person mentality. People who want to gain the global

opportunity, who love to gain experience implement those experience in the organization, who

love to present themselves, who are ready to take risks in their life. They go for private sector.

Because after getting experience they easily fulfill their desires within a short span of time.

But people who just want job security and want to be a "sarkari babu". Go for public sector.

So in my opinion private sector gives you a better opportunity to everyone if person have

talent. They can reach the towering heights.

Personally, I feel private sector is better than public sector just because you are always judged

by your talent and skills. The risk involved in private sector provide higher thrust for motivation

to build up your own carrier that is self employment, which contributes to country as well as for

an individual.

Ignorance of government officials is best reflected when I got my election Id card in which my

locality is printed wrong, just because I mentioned it in my regional language and the problem

is translation. I don't know whether it is ignorance or inefficiency of Indian public sector people

and even this may be the reason why after more than sixty years of independence we are still a

Dear friends,

Thanks for the interesting discussion. After working for the Govt of India (Class 1 gazetted) and

a Public sector bank as an officer both put together 20 years, I joined Private sector. We need

to understand what we mean by private sector, there is no one general classification. Private

sector is of multiple types ranging from American Mncs, Indian Mncs to Lala Companies and

again nature of industry i.e., banking, IT, retail etc., Again we need to consider at what level

you are joining and is your career aspiration.

In my opinion, if you are starting your career it's good to start with a global Mncs as Mncs are

ok upto middle level positions. Once you become fairly senior, should move on to Indian Mncs.

You are part of decision making in Indian Mncs whereas in global Mncs, you need await for

instructions for everything even if you are a Country head.

Overall, think we should know our strengths and weaknesses. If we think we are good in our job

(not only subject matter but also leadership, carrying oneself, soft skills etc. ,) Private sector is

the best, you can move fast up the ladder, you'll not face bureaucratic hurdles. But if you don't

have very serious career aspirations (C- suite jobs) and okay with routine govt & public sector

jobs are the best. Whatever said and done in private sector, particularly global corporations,

you are paid by results and not by efforts. Results means how you are contributing to the top

line revenue or bottom line. There are high risks as you go up.

If you want to play safe and don't believe in high octane work, public sector is the best. There is

no permanence or guarantee in corporations. But the good part is you will enjoy working

because generally the work environment is good, no hierarchy unlike Govt, no disrespect, no

bureaucracy. Private sector offers lot of learning opportunities, you learn everyday, travel

across the world, learn multiple culture, you become a global citizen. You need to choose what

you want. High risks & gains vs low risks and job security.

Public Sector: As the name comes in mind one must be happy but at the same time be very

very very cautious.

Have you ever seen a duck, how smooth it looks swimming in the lake? But the reality is

tremendous amounts of cycles of paddling it does inside the water, which is not visible.

Government sector job can be taken by those who are judged by their attitude and character at

the time of interview. People lie so much of not able to compete in exams and interviews. But

sometimes, its the MAN who takes above the BRAIN at the time of employment.

They do NOT need people who say, I will do anything to get this job. Because they know later it

will be trouble. Character, Sound Judgement, Self-Belief, Truthfulness, Innovative Ideology,

Clear Mindset, Confidence (self NOT jealousy) are the common personal traits what attracts the

interviewer in government jobs.

So many people are seen competing blindly with others, which is fatal for their own existence.

As a young job enthusiast, one must remain positive, hopeful and persistent in efforts towards

job hunting.

A target well set in time, and with the optimum efforts, right candidate can land for the job of

his dreams.

Freshers are some times confused in career choosing, go for pvt or govt? It comes from the

desire, how you imagine yourself working after five or ten years in life.

One may concentrate on his professional skills and then decide which way to go, private or

government.

There are ample of opportunities in the market, and truly speaking, those who have the steel

nerves of rising up the ladder of professional life, nothing STOP them.

The career does not begin with how you get a start, but how you see yourself, putting the

efforts and still keeping the momentum alive to sail ahead and reach your target goals.

Patience, Tolerance, Continuous efforts, and self-belief. Do these words attract you? Have a

better time anywhere private or govt, the pool is waiting for the dolphins.

Hey guys,

sector. If you have a mind set up wherein you don't have any dreams regarding your career,

just want to run your day to day life like how your forefathers led (Daily go to office, save major

portion of your salary, keep it in bank deposits & finally after retirement leave the hard earned

money to your children for their enjoyment) then Public sector is like a boon for you people.

At present am working in public sector company, in my previous employment I worked for an

MNC. You know when I joined MNC I didn't know how to speak english, I didn't know what is

professionalism, I didn't know what the current business environment is. I will tell u, don't go by

comforts. If these public sectors gets privatized, then your life becomes miserable. I won't be in

time then you can say sometime 10 to 12 hour daily work. So that create lots of health

No. "Public sector is a Guarantor of Job" is not a myth, but not 100% true as well. May be 90%

secure.

Now-a-days Public sector companies like SAIL, NTPC, SBI, UPSC, SSC or any other Government

jobs are not anymore for lazy people. Someone need to work hard and even need to perform

well in the organization, if he/she got the job. And if he/she can't perform as per the

expectations, the higher officials arrange his/her transfer to some unknown place and even

sometimes suspend him/her.

And, whatever, most of the growth & development of any country come from PVT sectors, not

from public sectors. But, that doesn't mean that government organizations are anyway behind

any pvt. Org. Just take the example of NASA.

Also, I am not agree with the people saying that, government People are lazy and they do very

less work. Just visit any SBI and look how much work they do. They shut down all the

transactions for public at 5 pm, but they continue to work till late, or else fine gets imposed on

them. All the PSUs are now paying as per performance. So, there is a heavy stress also on

Public sector workers.

I do work on the Regional Transport Office as a Clerk. And it does have too much workload. We

do work till 8 pm in night (at least) , sometimes more than 8 pm. The RTO officer also

sometimes scold us, just because he gets into tension by the workload.

By the way, we get almost all the government Holidays and Sundays, which are good.

I agree with that, no officer or boss can stop the monthly salary unlike a Pvt. Org wherein the

boss control everything.

though its a public or private sector. Of course entrance for public sector job is tough because of

the competition and unfair practices. For private sector you need to work hard more and more

with keeping patience.

Being a common man and moreover from OPEN category (no offence on any other category) for

me private sector provides bread and butter according to my knowledge and talent. I agree that

there is much stress, but it is at every place, so we need to work on that rather than blaming it.

I always believe that there is one opportunity available in the market which we need to grab.

Public sector is indeed a job security for the Indian people. The so called sarkari seva will always

the whole motive of public sector and think it as an ordinary job. But the case is different here.

The prime motive of public sector is to make India self sufficient in all front and the employees

sector. Should this job security be given to them after knowing the fact that people after getting

a job in govt sector becomes Corrupted.

People do not do their job with honesty because they know that their job is secure. No body is

going to harm their job. Now a days it is seen that in most of the govt sector job holders do

their job after taking a bribe from common people take an exp of education system in govt

schools, there are teachers but they don't do their job with honesty. In bank, in court in every

sector you will see this. Who is responsible for this. Common people, govt employee, or our

administration.

norms of PSU/PSC's and after the leave you can rejoin in your services which doesn't costs you

in the loss of Seniority among your colleagues except slight difference in the salaries.

If you start your career as a private employee, after getting dissatisfaction on it, it will be little

hard to get the job in govt sector as you might have deviated from the core subject.

You should compete with people who are already taking coaching for PSU's and even with newly

passed out candidates, who will be in lakhs.

You should satisfy with the starting salary in govt job which will be less than your present

private job salary. The same job experience in govt might have offered you higher salary.

On the other hand, a private company owner has his own will to close his company whenever he

very closely.

1. There are lot of opportunities for bright minds but office politics can let you down most of the

times (will get poor rating and appraisals due to politics and delay in promotions).

2. Profit earning motto of company will squeeze you till your last drop - you need to work in

night shifts, weekends, odd timings, can't take holidays whenever required.

3. Need to update yourself everyday - initially it seems thrilling but after the age of 35 with

family responsibilities, studying, updating knowledge after office hours will be tiresome for work

and interviews.

4. Work to salary ratio is not very encouraging - the amount of hard work and time you are

giving and salary you are drawing is a mismatch many times. Moreover salary increment will be

stagnated at some point of time.

5. No Job security - You can enjoy high packages but once the market crashes or company goes

into losses, there will be scarcity of job opportunities in the market no matter how talented you

are. Moreover employees with high salaries in the organization are slayed first and they find

difficult in getting new jobs at the same or higher packages in recession.

6. No time for family - Both husband and wife need to work in metro city if they have to earn

sufficient amount for survival, paying heavy installments, children education etc. So no time for

children and couples (most of the couples can spend time only on weekends). Its sad but true.

The biggest fear is what if I have taken a loan of 50 Lacs and paying heavy installments of 50

thousand each month and I have been slayed off from the company and didn't find another

suitable job in next 3-4 months. Think. What could happen to the family stability and

environment.

And moreover wasting 2 hours of your life in traffic everyday in metro cities and no pension

after retirement. Gosh. It sucks.

the same time law should be there to punish people who doesn't work. Then only it will be ideal

government Action & then only the purpose of being a government Will be served from this

Hello friends.

I am not going to comment on which one is better because this completely depends on the

person's thinking and what he/she wants in life.

I will just talk about whether there is job security in public sector or not.

Guys and girls, this is true that public sector gives the job security but friends, in today's time,

it has become most difficult to get in public sector.

But ya, once you get in, no one can snatch your job. This is the only advantage of the public

sector, and just because of this, people don't work properly. They don't come on work regularly,

and if they come, they don't work. They show their laziness, and just because of them, our

public has to suffer.

So, the conclusion is this that the there is job security in public sector which, according to me, is

not a good thing for our country.

Public sector is a guarantor of job - this is no myth, it is very true.

Even if there has been a slight drop in your performance level, you are sure to lose your job in

private sector. They keep loading you with a lot of work and would try and pressurise you as

much as they can. At the end of it, if they are not satisfied, they will kick you out of the job.

In public sector there is job security. Only if they see that, you are not contributing at all in any

way or you are not doing your job at all, will they suspend you. You are hired to do work, if you

don't do work, obviously they will suspend.

Hi Friends,

Basically we all get confused whether we should go for public sector or private sector job. No

one even thinks about their caliber, skills, interest etc. Etc. Marathon race is going on. First we

must think about our self that what want to be in life or what we expect from our life. Now a

days, we can't get easy job in public sector also because they also choose people who have the

ability, creativity, education, knowledge and skills. If we have our vision than no one can stop

you to get what you want. Both sectors require hard work with smart work also. It's not about

security. It's about our personal growth also. How we manage the things in our profession life

affect our personal life also.

A person who want to improve his or her lifestyle, want to grow up in personal life also. He or

she will do, will be successful no matters whether he/she is in public or private sector. But the

thing is do not follow people opinions or what they think about these sectors. Go with your

interest and willpower. I can bet you will be successful person both in your personal and

professional life also. Just forget about job security. If you are not working properly in public

sector also they would not entertain you more. It's up to our mentality that public sector job is

chilling job. No never, a failure person who does not want to learn anything new, no interest

can't get success in his/her life. Mind it.

Conclusion: do not follow blindly anybody or peoples opinions. Think what you wanna do in your

life. What matters you most. Last but not least. Try to identify yourself and try to know your

strength, skills.

First of all I would like to say to thank all my friends who are involved in discussion. It is good

to appreciate the topic which we get as a discussion.

As per my opinion, when we are doing job we also think about our job security. In this case the

public sector is being performing as a positioning. There are some reasons to give guarantee of

job security.

A Public sector Enterprise think about the employee.

1. They should work with dedication and with a good enthusiasm. Therefore it is result to higher

productivity.

2. They should satisfy the customer needs and wants in a proper manner so that every society

eager to say that public sector enterprise performing well.

B Employees Perspective.

1. They always work for the benefit of organisation because of giving bread and butter by

making job security.

2. They given preference to society, organisation and himself/herself.

I totally agree with you all that public sector is 100% secure but because of this thought many

of people work in government offices don't work properly they very well know that no one can

fired them form their job so they work half heartedly in reference to this. Just see our education

system the level of government School (primary or secondary) is very low in comparison of

private school where teacher pay attention at every student an teach them in proper manner

while in primary government School teacher just pass the time and not even present everyday

because no one come to check them.

So I just want to say that it is good to have 100% secure job but do not misuse of facilities and

power for this government Should make some regulatory authorities and also the government

Employees better fulfill their responsibilities.

Hello everyone,

Well, it is being a pleasure to join this discussion. In my point of view public sector has its own

benefits and job security comparing with corporate sectors. Even the working environment

makes us feel such laziness and reluctance to work in PSB, but the physical and mental

acceleration was too low comparing with Corporates. If a person working in a PSB means, not

having a pressure situation what a person whose is working with an corporate. He/ She might

feels less pressure towards work and also they will pay more attention to the family

development. A survey conducted by the famous Publishers indicates the PSB employees were

felt more secured in terms of job well as Social activities.

According to me, public sector is far better than private sector. It gives job security to every

employee, it gives a opportunity to every worker to build up with their feelings and with all

humanity, whereas in private sector a heavy work pressure snatch all their interest and their

enthusiasm, they became feeling less material. Not only job security it also important for the

growth of our countries development. All the public sector work for the benefit of the country

Another biggest problem is that the salary for an skilled person & a normal person is same. But

if you come to the private sector they will give the salary based upon their rating.

Let us judge the pros and cons from both sides.

Public Sector:

1. The work-life balance is best for general shift workers. There are shift and service workers

who work on night jobs also. They get paid for overtime etc. By union agreements but also work

on national holidays. Off course, they get other holidays that compensate. The labour rule and

agreement ensures employee satisfaction.

2. Following daily routine without corruption ensures job security. People obeying office rules

can not be tried by false allegation. Such petitions are scrutinized by higher authorities and

employees are guarded by law of the land and union contract.

3. Steady payment ensures future planning and happy family. Pension scheme ensures financial

guard at old age.

Private Sector:

1. Work Life balance is NOT maintained. If juniors disregard senior orders, their jobs are at

stake. There is no labour law or union guard to protect the employee interest.

2. Following daily routine or growth does not ensure job security. If the company fails to

perform in market, they have to close/prioritize business focus. Employees are sacked in that

order though giving good performance.

3. No steady payment and security of steady job that ensure future planning. People can not

plan down the line about health, family, children education, fund at retirement. No pension or

medical insurance to guard you and your family at old age.

4. The private sectors in India do not allow employees the degree of comfort like public sectors.

The public sector employees are NOT growth driven and used for government duty purposes but

private sector employees are employed in growth purposes.

Conclusion: For people ready to take challenge of settling abroad, being directors/presidents of

a concern in short time should pursue in private sector.

For people ready to balance between work and spend quality time with family, enjoy holidays,

travelling at places, express interest out of job tasks like painting/singing/writing, avail pension

and health facility at old age should pursue public sector.

advantages of private sector are :

1. In private, there they value our performance but in public sector increment salary is not

based on our performance but in private we get the performance linked package.

2. Innovation-like google, apple, cisco, toyota etc. Have been key player innovation, which lead

job security, offer high career potential growth opportunities. This is by far the biggest reason

Public sector job is no doubt more secure. Mostly work-life balance is properly maintained. It

gives them mental satisfaction and a sound happy life. In terms of growth or promotion, the

process is slow and it's time consuming.

In private sector, One can get the opportunity to grow in a short time. If you have the

motivation or interest in that domain, then private sector is good, company will pay you as per

From all that I have read on this page, it's only clear that my friends have totally diverted from

career graph of an employee rises at an extremely slow rate. Any person worth his salt would

definitely want to get hold of a private job where his potential is truly realised. And I think if a

person really loves his job, then he wouldn't mind working those extra two hours to reach the

deadline of his project.

All those who are criticizing the private job holders for not being able to clear any of those

government exams probably don't know the level of competition in such private sectors. These

private job holders have to go through different levels of qualifying like group discussions,

personal interviews and entrance exams too in some cases. They are selected for their all-round

presentable personality and not because of mere marks in an exam. They are way way more

efficient than the government job holders. And private sector too offers various schemes to

provide security to their job holders like 6th pay commission, provident fund, etc. Hence private

sector jobs are anytime mile ahead of public sector jobs.

heavy work load, high tensions, day to day cutoffs, obesity etc because of the imbalance in their

mind set all these diseases are occurring mostly to these guys.

Where as in public sectors salary is fixed, less work load, less tensions, no high pressures from

head offices, no cutoffs nothing.

Just going to office by 9:30 or 10 AM and leaving office by 6 pm that's it its a peaceful life in

public sectors.

And also the national holidays are any other holidays are plenty for public sectors where as for

private sectors adequate number of holidays. Though they got holidays they have no time to

spend with family they have to work in leave days also i.e., WORK IN HOME.

If the manager is not satisfied in you and your work he may have authority to quit you from his
