[quote=lostcat92120]I’ve worked for both public and privet sectors. I honestly think that some public sector environments are much more competitive than private. [/quote]

The government put a man on the moon for less than what Goldman-Sachs has lost over the last year.

I’ve worked in both and as far as productivity goes its a wash. It’s certainly easier to get rid of poor performers in the private sector, though.

Edit: In my experience, there is much more corruption in the private sector. Probably because of the tighter control of money and stricter accounting in government.
