Falc 3rd Gear March 13, 2008 Share March 13, 2008 I should think there's huge difference especially with the work culture part. Just look back at your experience with govt bodies ... Even GLC and MNC got huge difference already. This one speaking from experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beei 1st Gear March 13, 2008 Share March 13, 2008 work culture different.. but i never work in public sector before.. only heard my friends complaining about long hours, without OT pay, wayang, etc.. Even private sectors also different cultures. work in US, Singapore, Malaysia and Japan's compannies.. So far, US is the most situable for me, as long as work done swee swee, no one bother about you.. Malaysian's company to me sucks.. lots of rule and regulations but no one follow.. Singapore company remind me of the days in army.. Japan company is most stress.. dunno why.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightchaser Neutral Newbie March 13, 2008 Share March 13, 2008 Hi, any bros here in civil service or stuatory boards?? how is life as compared to private sector?? OT, benefits, etc?? I think life is quite good, considering economy did well. End of this month PB and MAC on 31 Mar 08, Growth Bonus in 25 Apr 08, and then VMB also My boss is only 32, I foresee he will take home around $42K total bonus end of Apr without including salary. With salary, should be about $60K for Mar and Apr alone. I dont even think many come close to earning that in almost a year Car is fully paid for Camry, stays in fully paid condo in town.

Remember they have 13 month AWS and also the bonuses, the bonuses! Only thing you need to grapple with is the work culture. Because they are not profit driven, a lot of things they do will appear to be wayang. You serve NS before, you should know how it is like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vega Turbocharged March 13, 2008 Share March 13, 2008 my army buddy works in the public sector. He told me his side got alot of ex regular officers (must retire after 45). many of them are scholars and they run the dept like army too . He told me thou the job is stable but can be quite stressful. They dont take NO for an answer. Then again, that depend where public sector u r going to. I am sure there will be nice boss that will appreciate your contribution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
