High wages is hit and miss, but leave and sick days are just the basics in Europe.
I know, that's where I work and it's amazing :) Even my wage is decently high, and I live in the eternal bliss that if I ever lose my job I won't also lose my health insurance and starve in the street
I dropped out in September due to burn-out issues. My health care insurance pays for 9 psychology sessions and supplies me a list of possible therapists.
However my company has a contract with a company health service which is an external party which is not allowed to share anything with my employer and it just signed for 12 intensive therapy sessions in my region combined with group acceptance therapy sessions.
The whole process was a breeze, too. Everything made super easy. I can only commend them for doing this. It has made me seriously consider not switching jobs.
Good to hear! Sorry for the burn-out
Thanks. I'm already back to 20 hours a week so it's going in the right direction
I would leave my job if not for: (1) my good salary; (2) flexibility in my schedule.
I'd settle for better ply toilet paper.
There are at least three:
salary, salary, and salary
We have a beer tap in the office.
This also tells us you work at a company that isn't old enough to have rules in place because the beer tap use... Resulted in unfavorable outcomes haha
Flexibility and a lack of initial formality. I hate hate HR type nonsense. I expect people to follow through in writing, but just interview and talk.
I do not fit into a conventional hierarchy type of job. I just want responsibility and freedom to operate. I will self manage with little input needed and better than anyone will do if micromanaging. I don't like formality. When I need to solve an issue I go to the person most capable of making the change and get it done quickly. People that obsess about rules and hierarchy are narcissistic sadists in my opinion. Those types of people running organizations are incapable of caring for other people.
So I would say, flexibility and a lack bureaucracy or hierarchy are primarily what I am looking for. The rest of the pieces and details will fall in line behind this abstraction.
This is a niche one for US companies that do stock compensation with ISOs, but supporting employees to file 83(b) elections. It's annoying paperwork for the company but saves the employee tons of headache down the road.
1000% this. Never sleep on your 83b
I've never used perks to decide if I'm going to take or leave a job, it's strictly compensation that matters.
Factor in paid time off to increase compensation per unit time calculation
