Public Sector being a Guarantor of Job Security is a Myth

The aim of the government of the country should be to provide job security & not to keep them under gun point all the time. Then what's a government is for? Remember " Government of the people, by the people & for the people. " Termination in public sector doesn't happen due to non-performance but may happen due to some other reasons. But as "govt. Is for the people", it should enact a law that will provide job security & less work pressure in pvt. Sector also. At 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 perspective.

I stand to the myth of the topic. Public sector gives job security on the other hand Private jobs are not secured.

Points raised in above discussion are that public sector is full of politics and in private a person can show their skill. Well since I have been part of both these sector, politics is a virus which is present everywhere be it PSU/PSB/Private sectors.

It all depends on how you maintain your position, one has to maintain cordial environment, in other words use your "Skills -Intelligently and Efficiently', and then see great things starts coming to you.

Public sector is serving your nation proudly.

Private sector is part of business. Both jobs are goods.

Hi friends,

According to my opinion, public sector job is more secure than private sector job. If person has good learning skills and who wants to grow the private sector job is more better. See, legal richest persons are more in private sector jobs than illegal richest in public sector jobs. Even many skills are important for selecting into public sector job through entrance exams and because of secure jobs these skills are not implementing but in private insecurity jobs persons will learn new things accordingly and implement it for their deadly targets.

At last, involve in learning process you will definitely have secure and respect job in both sectors.

Supporting this topic on a positive note I would say for most middle-class Indians, there has been one perpetual dilemma "whether to go for a private sector job or the government sector job. But if we see public sector provides job security, perfect pay structure, Limited working hours, promotions, benefits and perks, less work stress, more facilities, more respect which fulfills the complete expectations of human. And the most important with public sector is the varieties of problems solved under it. Every worker is familiar with solutions for all possibilities of problem that occurs, which may not be seen in a private worker".

Public sector is indeed a job security for the Indian people. The so called sarkari seva will always attract the junta because of money and less work involved in it. People tend to misunderstand 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 are expected to be people of highest character in the service of the nation. But now a days corruption in services has made this sector a money minting machine. Job security is indeed there in public sector in dealing with strategic areas.

I am 33 and I have changed 3 Public sector Unit and 2 Department but they are all the same there is no planning. Either there will be no work and it becomes difficult to kill time and you don't feel like going to office or there will be too much work. All there non uniform work distribution.

Ya, but job security is there. They feed you free fund for months thinking that only we don't quit.

Public sector Unit and Private both are equally unsafe for women.

After working for say more than 5 years you are in no position technically to compete in the market.

Promotions in Public sector Unit are driven by favouritism.

Job security in Government job is not at all a myth. It is very true your life is secured once you get into government job that is why people now a days are fad about it. Even the incentives, salaries, working times everything are flexible with government jobs, but the matter of fact is people in government jobs are misusing, without working full time, with not much heed etc which ultimately leading to decrease in the growth of country. Once you entered into government job you will be secured until you commit a serious problem. So I feel that security by the government Job is not at all a myth rather it is a fact.

Hello friends, most of the people have their own beliefs like just work hard at initial stage, just appear for big exams like GATE, PSU'S, UPSC, get a job in public sector and after that 100% job security, reputation will be there but according to me there efficiency of work is NIL. Yes its true that some people do think about development in public sector but it needs that entire sector should realize it. In private sector people always think about being developed, growing, taking challenges and if we talk about corruption, its a disease which is at its peak stage and cannot be cured although how much we try.

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.

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.
