Of course the "other stuff" (moving forward in one's career, not signing on to the prolonged early death of a torturously long commute and/or dealing with unpleasant or just uninspiring coworkers all day) should be most important. But it's amazing how many companies just don't seem to care, or any awareness at all about the importance of item (1).
