I'd rather they paid me more and let me decide to do with the money.
So Mark's taking flight classes? Guess what, that comes out of everyone's salary. So does the extra holiday every Friday, and all those other honey-traps.
- pchristensen 19y agoI'm pretty sure they thought of all this, and I'm pretty sure they're profitable enough that no one's taking a pay cut to implement these ideas. From one of the first reply comments by Jason Fried: "Why not just pay a higher salary instead of ‘funding passions?" "First, this isn’t really about the money. It’s about encouragement." "We want to encourage and motivate people to find something interesting to explore. Most people can spring for their own photography classes, but how many people actually do it on their own? Most don’t but many would if they had a bit more encouragement and support." Someone below that said: "As far as funding passions, I’m sure there are tax benefits from having your employer pay."
