What are the disadvantages of government jobs?
disadvantages of a government job
Although the younger generation
which is in college right now, is least interested in sarkari naukri, however
still there are a lot of people in our society who thinks that sarkari naukri
(govt. job) could be the best choice for their career.
1.
Each Day is Boring & Monotonous
First disadvantage of a government
job is that they are very boring and monotonous. Not all government jobs but
most of them.
You do not enjoy working there as
people do in private sector jobs. In government jobs, you’re free to sit idly
without anybody noticing you, but that is not something I would like to do.
Why sitting idly?
I am a person who loves to learn
something new each day and enjoy every moment at my workplace. Off course you
can enjoy every moment if you work in a company that respects your talent.
Let me tell you one thing, you
will definitely miss a smile on your face if you work for a sarkari naukri.
2.
Discouraging & Frustrating Work Environment
In a government job, you have to
adjust with very discouraging and frustrating work environment. Jealousy and
leg-pulling among employees is a day to day affair.
I am not trying to be sarcastic
but work environment is OK only for a person who is lazy and sluggish.
But if you are a person, who is
bit adventurous and loves doing new things in life then you would obviously not
like the work culture there.
For me an environment in a sarkari
job is very hostile to people who want to rise up in their life.
3.
No Merit, Only Reference
The most disadvantages of a
government job is promotions are not based on merit. They depend more on
reference of someone influential.
We call it nepotism.
A deserving employee will never
get promotion on the basis of merit and an inferior worker will supersede him
because he has reference of someone influential.
In a government job, the talent or
integrity of a person is never appreciated. Any other guy can prosper by hook
or crook.
This phenomenon is normal in
government jobs but in private jobs everything is based upon merits. Hence
sarkari naukris are not for a hardworking and honest person.
4.
Monthly Salary is Peanuts
What you get in a government job
compared to any private sector job is just peanuts. Monthly salary and other
perks are very less compared to private jobs.
In fact, a government employee
cannot afford buying a home in his entire life time. But you will see young men
working in private companies having a house and a car. The difference is
shocking.
The main reason why you get less
salary is because in government jobs there is no appreciation of honest and
hardworking men.
Whether you work honestly or just
sit idly, you will get the same salary every month.
So, why people should work in
government sector? It is wiser, not to work there.
5.
Transfers in Inhospitable Areas
I remember when I was a kid, we
have to move from one place to other in short period of time. It was so heart
breaking because you have to leave your friends, forever.
In government jobs you have to be
ready to go anywhere in your country. Some transfers are even in inhospitable
areas where you cannot take your family.
You have to leave your family and
live alone for many years. Could you imagine a life without your family?
Yes! You have to live, if you are
in a sarkari naukri, especially in armed services.
6.
Government Gives a Damn about Employees
The most key point of disadvantages
of a government job is damn about employees. Unlike private jobs where
companies take care of their employees, in government sector senior officials
give a damn about their employees.
Accountability in government jobs
is very less. No one bothers because it is a state run enterprise and there is
no concept of profit or loss.
Like a private company is
accountable to consumers or share holders, there is no such thing in government
sector.
It is because lack of accountability
they give a damn about employees.
7.
Inferior Lifestyle
Less salary and transfers to
inhospitable areas would make you to live a substandard lifestyle. With little
salary you can hardly make your both ends meet.
Moreover you cannot even fulfill
demands of your children with a government salary. You would be forced to hoard
money and spend nothing on your lifestyle.
Moreover, transfers to hard area
will make your life even more miserable. You have to live away from your
family.
However, a man who is in private
company has more disposable income to spend. In a sarkari naukri, you do not
have disposable income to spend on anything.
8.
Stunted Personality
Such a work environment and an
inferior lifestyle will certainly not allow you to develop your personality, in
a way it should be.
But in other jobs you get a chance
to develop personality because you get to learn new things on daily basis.
You improve your personality and
face the world more confidently. But in a government job you cannot have a
developed personality.
9.
Doomed Future for Remaining Career
Lack of developed personality will
not allow you to look forward in your future. If you want to apply for another
job once you have left the government job then it would be very difficult
because you lack a decent personality.
And in any good private job they
do look for experience and personality both. Therefore your future would not be
so bright.
10.
Never Contented
The most elated feeling that a man
could want is contentment. Whatever he or she is doing, happiness is more
important than money.
In government jobs a person would
never have satisfaction for what he is doing. Neither money nor satisfaction in
a sarkari naukri!
According to me, these are 10
disadvantages of a government job.
However,
before I end, I want to caution you that, not every government job is as bad as
I mentioned in above 10 points.
Some are
good and people love working there. But, what I said in this article applies
generally for a sarkari naukri.
All This disadvantages
of a government job are not same in all area.basically disadvantages of a
government job depends on local area.
