Nope, closest I've come in my professional career was working on a government project for a consultancy.

I get the impression from this board that the people here generally think they are better if they work in the private sector than people that work in the public sector.... Maybe just me though.

Of course they do. They seem to think everyone who works in the public sector can be done without or doesn't do any work at all.

 

[Eddie182]

Yes, military.

 

[jp_bl_68]

Private sector for the time being, might be back on benefits by Christmas though.

Where is the "Yes, I am a student".

 

[VeNT]

what about bt/clinisys etc who support government systems but not paid directly?

 

[Over Clocker]

I own a company who's customer base (by turnover) is 75% public sector.

 

[Duke]

Self employed, so no.

 

[LordSplodge]

Fire Authority so public sector.

 

[teaboy5]

To be fair, most big companies will get some of their business from the public sector, either directly or indirectly.

 

[VeNT]

what about the companies that get 100% from the public sector?

 

[teaboy5]

what about the companies that get 100% from the public sector?

Yeah I don't disagree with that?

What I am saying, I am sure there is some people in here that work for a private firm, who does work for another private firm who then gets its business from the public sector and once that goes the firm goes and the cycle just goes down from there.
