Would this be in a way similar to how we've tied health care to employer-based insurance? If so, I'm not sure I'd want to be in a position where my employer subsidizing my housing makes it difficult to leave said employer for better opportunities or, god forbid, you lose your job and then home subsidy.
- toast0 4y agoI think it makes sense in some cases and hospital residency is one. It's a temporary position (even if temporary is 7 years), often where the employee has limited influence on the location. They're likely to have lived somewhere else before taking the position, and will live somewhere else after the position. There are existing strong incentives to not move jobs during residency, so an additional one won't hurt too much.
