Public Sector being a Guarantor of Job Security is a Myth

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.

Thank you.

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.

I have seen that youths (generally, age between 16 to 25) in India are having this illusion that in average pvt sector pays much better than public sector or government bodies. But in reality after the 6th pay commission of the central govt & pay revision of banks, insurance companies, oil companies etc the pay structure or the gross benefits in public sector or govt bodies are much better in average than pvt sectors.

Moreover govt & public sectors are having pension either under old pension scheme or new pension scheme which is much better than not to have it at all. & it's also true that public sector or govt bodies provide job security at least up to 90%. So govt or public sector job is much better than pvt ones.

It's a healthy discussion going on. But after going through most of your point of view's that all are concluding with the result that PSU's are more secured. Yeah I definitely agree with that. But the fact is that all of you can't crack for this PSU's. So that means your life is worthless? No. Definitely not. It's you who can make a change.

Try for the PSU's, work hard but be strong for the results. If it is yes go for it and what about if it will be no then? Definitely private sector will be left for you. All goes for money and relaxation. The best way to lead life if you are thinking of money is that gain 4-5years experience from any sector, then try to build up your own company. BE THE EMPLOYER! DON'T BE THE EMPLOYEE!

Well in case of choosing between private and public I think almost everybody in the country will opt for public sector not only because of job security but it also has many other benefits like incentives, expenses on transport, bigger pay scale compare to private companies jobs, etc. I would also like to remind you of the immense hike of salary after the implementation of sixth pay commission which the private sector lacks to provide to their employee. And also if we have to conduct a survey on this topic I hope even those who are currently holding jobs in private companies will give thumbs up for public in one sense if we are to offer public sector job to them they would thought of leaving their office right away.

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.

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 developing country.

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.

In addition to the discussion I just wanted to add my point but before that I want to ask you all. Do you people need security at cost of your limited salary structure or lesser work pressure?

Most probably your answer will be negative. Yes, exactly this is what we don't want. We can't limit ourselves. People say to me if you will go to public sector life will become very easier. Less work pressure. No restrictions result in orientation. But as a youth. What I feel. I want to work hard at this age. I want to earn more and more. I want to climb up and up. I don't want to roam around a single chair. If ever I'll fall down. I will be happy. Since I have that much of courage. To climb this journey again.

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 man. Whereas most of private sector not at all bother about country or for country man, they always belief for their profit only and do only on that way. To keep control our economy, and make it stable, public sector is mostly needed.
