7.) No time to plan your life:   Working under a private sectors can be hectic and time consuming that the employees will not have time for their personal life and their family. There won't be time for unnecessary gestures among other staff of the private sectors.

8.) Restriction to engaging in other businesses:  Employees are often restricted from venturing into another personal business because of the workload on the employee's desk.
