Public Sector being a Guarantor of Job Security is a Myth

Well said by every one. I really appreciate. Taking the reference from my friends I would like to contribute some more points regarding this topic. Of course there is a job security in govt 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.

Think over it. All I can say, administration is responsible for such illegal activities. So administration should take a strict against corrupted people of govt sector.

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.

Both types of jobs have their respective pros and cons.

I have seen the life of both the sides.

Public sector gives lot additional advantages in some cases while private sector has lot of boons with it.

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 Guys,

Let me explain first about "Public Sector" so that I can say something because before taking clear picture it would be difficult to say anything.

The public sector is the part of the economy concerned with providing various governmental services. The public sector includes such services as the military, police, infrastructure (public roads, bridges, tunnels, water supply, sewers, electrical grids, telecommunications, etc, public transit, public education, along with healthcare and those working for the government itself, such as elected officials.

So with the help of this clear picture, we can say that "Public Sector" being a Guarantor of Job Security is not a "Myth" but "trust".

It is fact that there is a lot of hard work for getting a job but we get a level job after doing a hard work I mean hard work is nothing but doing polish ourselves for the society so that we can get the people better at the workplace.

Yes, Job security of Public sector is Myth. Public sector Job is secured till PSU earns profits to the government. Even though main motive behind PSU's is to create job opportunities in India. If any PSU making losses year by year then Government may privatize that PSU as it happened with HMT and some other.

I believe that private sector jobs are unsafe due to unbeaten competition in this world. Every private sector companies come with a new technology, services etc. Due to this there will be a loss in some other company and they terminate few employees. For example Samsung and Nokia. Samsung is No.1 in mobile marketing at present, due to this Nokia brand is almost down. Who knows which will be the next brand which come up with new innovation in technology.

I always prefer Government Jobs which is safe and secure for life long.

I have read all the comments from top to bottom.

And somewhere I found that all are right.

As different people have different opinions.

As per my thinking, private jobs are better than public jobs.

The only thing which a government is providing is job security.

But you can make your life secure if you are pursuing a private job.

Yes through back to back investments, you can make your life secure even after your retirement.

And this gives you better opportunities to develop yourself.

PSU employees are recruited under FRSR. There jobs are 100% secrure. If PSU get privatised they even get VSR Apportunity.

Do government jobs provide job security?

Yes, of course and that is the reason why 80% of the Indian job aspirants are chasing behind government job. I think due to the job security of a government job, lakhs of coaching institutes are running which assure 100% government job.

On the other hand, a private company owner has his own will to close his company whenever he feels it to be closed, it is not the headache of the private company owner as to what the people working under him will do.

Whereas, if a government organization is closed due to some reasons, then the employees of that organization are transferred to some other government organization.

Thus, government job provides job security is 100% correct.

Hi friends.

In my view public sector is better than private sector because there is job security. Not only job security, the competition is also less in public sector. Due to this the people working in public sector have less stress than people working in private sector.

The working hours are fixed in public sector but in private sector they don't have fixed working hours. Stress is more in private sector. Job security is not there in private sector.

Thank you.
