Public vs. Private Sector?
yusing asks: "Public sector or private sector? Which would you rather work in? What are Slashdot reader experiences like? What are the differences in work environments? What are the frustrations of each? This person chose private sector after working in public. This article argues that the public sector should be expanded. There are definitely political considerations in this choice (bigger/smaller government for example) but I'd like help deciding which would be more appropriate for me. Where can I find quality reading to help me decide?"
shit shit shit its my 5 minutes of fame and i cant thin of anything to say.
Can someone post a Taco anal fantasy story? Thanks.
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love--
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me--
Yes!--that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we--
Of many far wiser than we--
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling--my darling--my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

Here's our jingle for Goatse®
We wrote a song for Goatse
The wholesome back that smiles back
until you bite his balls off!
See the goatses stretching...
Oh look the JonKatz's winning...
Didn't that make you feel good about Goatse?
Here's our Jingle for Goatse
Stretchy little Goatse
Oh good we're at the part
Where we show that he's straight and not queer
Did you know they're made
with real anus
Even though they look like pussy
The back that smiles back Goatse.
Being at a .com on the public market during the boom, you received tons of nice little benfits. We had kegs every friday, tons to eat during the all hands meetings, more computer parts lying around for the taking. But now that everything went in the shitter, everything got cut back. No more friday kegs, no food at the all hands, no extra computer parts lying around. I'm sure the private sector changes too, but it can't be as much when you have to please investors.
What about public vs state schools?
Who would you rather work for?
(o) Greedy multinational Corporations
(o) The Evil Government(tm)
(o) CowboyNeal
I don't want to work at all you numbnuts.
Public or Private Sector? How about neither?
What the heck is this? Someone can't figure out what to do with their life, and comes to the general population of the world for advice? What in the world does this have to do with news?
You know, there doesn't have to be a new article every 10 minutes or so. Can wait for like..real news stories, or things that people might be interested in.
working in the public sector is frustrating, and thankless. Working in the private sector is less so. In fact, for some people, working in the private sector is actually rewarding. Being in IT in the public sector isn't. Red tape like MAD. It really is true that the space shuttle still uses 386 chips all over due to all the hassles they'd have to go through to change the design.
Private sector also pays better. On the other hand, you're far less likely to get fired in the public sector. So if you suck, and have no plans on improving yourself, work in the public sector. Otherwise, private.
there is, of course, a seperate option...one that some one say is one or the other, but the culture is definately different enough to warrant its own category - Academia. Depends on what you want to do.
and isn't "it depends" the answer anyway? Yeesh. Its like you're asking "which is better to do this task I haven't defined? Assembly, C, perl, or java?" Well geeze...who knows? What are your skills? What do you want in life? How important is money to you? Is IT a career thing for you, or a job? There are far too many factors.
what a silly "article." Bah
