Public Sector being a Guarantor of Job Security is a Myth

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 is completely reverse. Before getting a government job only you have to work hard.

In public sector you will get peace, not like in a private sector.

Actually government jobs are best because I worked in private sector company, I have not enjoyed single day there, you can anytime have sacking fear.

Government jobs have stability much more good than a high paid private sector jobs, as during bad economic scenarios private sector jobs and employees face sacking it is evident as salaries from the last 10 years in civil aviation, it sector for freshers and experienced have not increased. Private sector only focuses on profit, they treat employees like a money making machine, private bank for example is like that, there best of employees cannot compete the public sector banks, they have no decision making authority all are like clerks.

Private sector in India and china are major failure even in USA, it puts mark on capitalism and its after effects the choice is yours 40 years ago there were no aircon, luxury cars in India but people live happily,

Now they have everything they live unhappy.

Public sector companies are charity houses for sluggard. Unintelligent and crooked. These companies are not at all support to economic development of nation. Even the companies recruited intelligent dynamic people shortly they become sluggards and unproductivity. This happens because of lack of appreciation and recognition of their works due to favoritism in caste, language, and religion. Only 30 percent of employees who have ethics, honesty and devotion to the country work hard and make the companies survival. Who remaining 70 percent employees get their salary as a charity fund to lead their family life. In these companies intelligent and unintelligent is equal for all momentary benefits they get. These companies are more burden for government which uses the public money for investment to enjoy only a few people. I am not commenting this due to hatred or envious but experience of being an employee of public sector with fat salary.

Hello guys!

I read many of your comments here some have answered rightly while some seem little less known regarding the topic, don't get confused with public-private and government, all these three terms are totally different, and most of the people saying public sector jobs are government, no. It's not like that.

Public sectors are just government-owned entities means the government owns minimum 51% shares on them, and rest of the shares are owned by some private bodies. Also, the government doesn't pay a salary to PSU employees. PSU company themselves has to pay remuneration to his staff. In case the PSU company is running down or in a loss, the government may disinvest it or shutdown it anytime. So thinking that getting a job in PSU is a secured job is a big myth. Earlier we have seen the closure of many renowned PSU's and likely to see some more in future, so point to be noted here PSU as a JOb guarantee is a myth indeed.

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.

Hi friends,

I read the all above opinion. I am satisfied with someone because I also have my own opinion 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 last I would like to say that private sector is good in all sections. Thanks.

Hello,

I would like to say yes, everybody talks about who is better private otherwise public. You know definitely, people goes with gov. Job. The reason is that in private sector there is no guarantee of a job. Your job is not fixed.

In other hand gov. Job provide full guarantee your job is secure and after finished the period of service. You get a pension. That's why anyone prefers gov. Job.

But, due to some corrupt rule, the situation of gov. sector is not better than the private sector. I am talking about RESERVATION. In gov. Sector your ability doesn't matter if You have cast certificate.

In gov. Sector there is no any inquiry of employee. This is the main reason in India the condition of the government sector is so worst and ask yourself why are you not send your children in gov. School. Whenever you need any governmental work you have to stand hour and hour in the queue.

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.

No I don't agree. Let us just compare private sector jobs with the pubic sector jobs. Private sector jobs are more easier to acquire than a public sector job, but at the same time, it is easier to lose that job in private sector compared to the public sector. I have been reading few comments regarding Reservation system and I feel it is totally out of frustration because it is out of topic. The question here is not about getting a job in public sector, but to secure a job there. The Reservation system is introduced in our country for some good reasons. Let's not talk about that. Talking about job security yes, if you get a job there it is considered to be the biggest achievement of your life as no one can snatch that job from you. All you need to ensure is that you serve to the nation, it doesn't secure your job buts does justice to your salary package. Thank you.

Hai to one and all,

In my point of view, government jobs are more security to us. Nowadays we get a lot of salaries in govt. Jobs also. By doing govt. Jobs we don't have to bother about our future because the job is with us until our retirement and also we get pension after job.

But in case of private job we don't have that much of opportunities, and also we have to follow the steps of higher authorities. They will give suggestions and we have to follow them compulsory if we reject they remove us from the job. And also their main goal is to earn a lot of money to their companies and also forced the persons to do this work immediately. We have no security in doing private jobs. They also tried to get a fame to their company by going not only in a good way but also in a bad way, their main aim is to get more income to their company.

Thankyou,
