I’ve made my feelings on unions well known, but I do wonder why some are so obsessed about added benefits in the public sector vs private.
I get that it’s “our tax dollars,” but is that it?
I mean, if you think the jobs are better why not just work in the public sector? If the pay is that much better, is it attracting the best talent available for those positions? If so, isn’t that a good thing? If not, why not?
I work in the private sector, but have a couple of friends working in the public sector, we have different benefits (they have better vacation, more job security, but don’t get bonuses, networking and personal growth opportunities, or big company parties) but their jobs also seem a lot more stressful than mine.
A lot of that comes down to the nature of the position obviously, but if you could work in the public sector, why don’t you? If you can’t, why not?
