Not a perk. I fired an employer for failing to provide natural sunlight for a reasonable amount of time throughout the day. I’ve also rejected offers involving lack of sunlight. One place adjusted to this requirement quite well. Apparently I was the first candidate to even bring this up when I asked about the working environment.
The cost to my health is measurable.
- wackro 8y ago> I fired an employer I like your attitude. I'm currently gazing down a glass-ceilinged atrium so will not be firing anybody for the time being.
- em-bee 8y agowhen our teams office got moved from another city into the basement of the main office, i threatened to quit unless i got a desk by the window. the building was on a hill, so the basement did have an open side out to the back with windows by the entrance. space was a bit small but they managed to custom-fit a desk so that i could sit there. greetings, eMBee.
- PascLeRasc 8y agoYou're my hero. I'd like to hear about what else you consider essential before hiring an employer.
- adiusmus 8y agoWell it’s called a job interview for a reason. Inter+view. Prepare for interviews as if you’re hiring them and you’ll have plenty of questions. Your employer needs to deliver as much as you do. Negotiate! I know it’s a different mindset. Do it long enough and you realise you might as well work for yourself. Or work on contracts and sub out what you can’t directly do but are willing to manage. My old mindset when I started out was that employers know everything and are all powerful. In reality they had better have more experience than you in multiple ways or they’re going to be fired either by the market or when you have to quit (which is obviously you firing them).
