Why Govt. jobs are in high demand?

Why Govt. jobs are in high demand?

 Well, to start with, Govt. dept., there is 5 days a week

Others 6 days a week.

Then there are 19 public holidays

but for others (Com+Industrial) it’s 9 only

e.g.
much debated ‘Good Friday’ and ‘St. Francis Xavier’ holiday is for Govt. only

see list below.

Of the 19 public holidays (Govt)

  7 are of Hindu Festival
  3 Christians
  3 Muslims
  6 others (National/State etc)

Total Holidays/ Rest days/Leave : 176

i.e 104 Sat/Sundays

      19 Public Holidays
      33 (Restricted holidays + Casual/Sick leave/unpaid)
      20 (Annual leave)

in a year there are 365 days less 176 = 189 days = 1323hrs (189x7)

= 3.6   working days a week (as against 5 days a week in general)

Again, of the 7 hours a day (excl. Breaks)

Av. 1 hr lost per day due to late coming/early leaving/extended breaks/chatting with staff /phones-Mobiles/ Newspaper/toilets/tea/snacks/sleeping/roaming/clocking or signing in
and then go to sort out car parking or petrol filling or smoking or tea/breakfast

Which is equal to 6 hrs a day work i.e. av. 189 hrs or 27 days lost/year.

So, actual av. Working days of the year = 162 days

i.e. about  3.1 working days a week

Moreover, one has to take into account slower pace of work 2-3 days before & after Ganesh Chaturti, Diwali, Dashera, Xmas, New year etc which is not included in the above computation

Besides, festivals like Carnival, IFFI, shigmo, elections, long sick leave, maternity leave  etc

Notes:

-   It may not apply to a very few

     -  This is one way of looking at it, the other way would be fast money making under the table etc
    -   Job security guaranteed to almost all, no matter how corrupt is he or she.
e.g. A complaint was lodged against a JE in Salcette for his involvement in Light Poles theft, instead of sacking him, he was transferred to Pernem.
