[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I spent 16 years as a federal supervisor. It was a challenge. It was hard to reward/retain great employees and near impossible to get rid of bad ones. [/quote] This is the main reason it’s “hard.” There is underpay, tons of incapable freeloaders, and bad management everywhere. However I wouldn’t compare the claim that it’s “harder” than a private sector management job. Those are very hard I’d imagine but for the stress of P&L, less job security, board politics, somewhat similar hiring & laying off decisions, need for relocation, etc. reasons. Quite different.[/quote] It sounds like you haven't done both. You're right that both can be challenging and they exist with different environmental factors, but overall in my experience, it is far more difficult to be a successful manager in the government.[/quote]
