It is rightly said, “If God loves
you, He will bless you with a Government job.” This single statement proves to
be a big testament of the importance of a Government jobs, how rarely it is
available to the people, the attributes associated with it and why students of
today hanker after it or you can say why there is craze for the Government jobs.
Well, there are a number of things
associated with the Government jobs that make these jobs get an edge over the
private jobs. Some of these are discussed below:
Ø Fixed Working Hours: One of the greatest achievements
working in Government jobs is that by and large there is fixed working hours.
Those who are in private jobs will be able to understand more. In private jobs
it is said that the arrival time is the only thing that is fixed in office.
There is no time when you can say that your working time is over now. No
matter, whether you have already worked for 8 hours, 10 hours or for that
matter for 12 hours. Disgustingly long hour of working hours disrupts work life
balance.
Ø Timely Payments: There is a long sordid saga in
private concerns when it comes to payment of wages. Though there is a norm of
paying the salary by 7 of every month, but very few companies pay by the said
date. They willingly keep the outstanding salary of the employee so that no one
could dare to give interview, search for other jobs and get rid of their
clutches. Whenever any employee leaves job, the employer treats him/her as if
the employee has betrayed the company, rather has turned out to be the enemy of
the company. As long as the company betrays its employees, it is a norm, but
when the employees leave the job, the company gets betrayed. Of course, timely
payment is a big concern in most of the private concerns today and the reason whythere is craze for Government jobs.
Ø No Pay Commissions:
Unlike the employees of the Government, there is no any Pay Commission
for the employees of the private companies. You may end up working in same
salary for years, with the solace that at least you are not asked to leave the
organization. In private concern, there is nothing like same pay for same job.
If you are close to your employer, you inform him about the things going on in
the organization, knows the art of flattery, you may become the highest payee
in that organization. You may also fall into pray to politics of the
organization. Simply put, your pay is not for what you work, it is for what
other things you do along with your job.
Ø Prospects of Career Growth: There is a pre-defined and
well-defined path of career progression in government jobs. There are departmental
exams, time-bound promotion and so many well-laid mechanisms that pave the way
for exponential career growth and rewards. But, in private job, there is
nothing like that. If you keep on switching jobs, you may get good increment in
salary. But, it may happen that after ten years of progressive salary hike,
nowhere you could get the salary as you expect. You may feel that you have
become redundant. Your career may come to a standstill. Prospect of career
growth is one of the most important reasons why there is craze forGovernment jobs.
It is important to note here that the
above-mentioned reasons include but not limited to the reasons why there iscraze for Government jobs.
