Once again we have a CEO pretending to know what works best for the rank and file employee.
First we didn't need bonuses, we just needed a pat on the back from managers and co-workers to achieve happiness.
Now, we don't need vacations if we're burnt out, instead we just need flexible hours so we can schedule our death marches around our other responsibilities and mental health resources. 10 hours is 10 hours regardless of how you schedule it. Pressure doesn't go away just because your boss describes impending doom using nice words.
What's next? Desks aren't the answer for writing surfaces because our walls are already flat?
- eatonphil 5y agoI didn't assume that he meant anything like that. Digging into the company a bit: > Though results matter most and Technically Media prides itself on flexibility, as a guide, this role might expect to work roughly 40-45 hours a week. > Technically Media offers 10 paid holidays per year; 15 PTO days accrued per year with additional P TO offered progressively; as well as a month of paid parental leave. >Technically Media additionally closes its offices for the final week of the year to relax and unwind before each new year. This serves as additional paid holiday time. https://technical.ly/job/editorial-director/ https://technical.ly/job/editorial-director/ It's not the most generous but it's par for Philly area tech companies and its not a tech company, it's a journal.
- hinkley 5y ago> this role might expect to work roughly 40-45 hours a week. I “expect” a lot of things that never happen.
- wccrawford 5y agoAnd for any role that already expects to work more than 40 hours a week, I expect that that's a lie and it'll be more. And never 40.
