#599 Public Sector or Private Sector: Who’s the Laziest?

The Niall Boylan Podcast (They Told Me To Shut Up) · Dec 18, 2025 · 1h 14m

In today’s episode, Niall kicks off by talking about a tweet he recently put out stirring up debate on public-sector work and accountability:

“Reform UK say they want to encourage public-sector workers to report colleagues who aren’t ‘doing useful work’ or who aren’t productive.

Many people believe civil servants and public-sector workers have it easier and with strong job security and little risk of being fired, compared to the private sector.

So what do you think?

Would you report a lazy colleague to the boss?

And who really has it easier, the public sector or the private sector?
