Not true. A government job is black or white - you have it or you don't with most advancement based on seniority not on merit.
Governments have piss-poor performance incentives. While performance incentives (such as stock bonuses) for private corporations are far from perfect, at least they exist in the private sector. I would love if it were possible for the most efficient government employees to earn a much higher wage than their inefficient, wasteful, and malevolent counterparts. But alas that would be a corrupt system indeed. The answer, it seems, is to have as many private jobs and as few government jobs (a necessary evil) where possible.
