But these are also the two things that require companies to restructure in order to be able to reliably offer them to employees. I went through this two years ago with my last employer. When it came right down to it, I didn't really have a place there. When my job was made redundant, my departure was bittersweet. There was a time when they were open to expanding my role and giving me a direct report. But they decided to move in another direction. It's more than just "treating employees well." A lot more.
