A paid three month sabbatical after 5 years for somebody making $150k/year would be an extra $625/month. With the costs of other benefits, it's really not that much different and would be relatively straightforward to work into a benefits package.
- haimez 4y agoExcept basically everyone who takes that sabbatical immediately quits after it’s over. Seriously.
- neilv 4y agoFor the contemporary tech industry reason of job-hopping being the best way to boost your salary, but a 3-month sabbatical is worth sticking around for?
- feoren 4y agoGosh, if only there were any way to prevent this. Like, and I'm just spitballing here, but what about: making your workplace somewhere they actually want to come back to!? We've really internalized the idea the every job always has to completely suck ass, huh?
- cweagans 4y agoSo? Even if they leave right after the sabbatical, you've successfully retained them for five years. That's an eternity in tech and definitely worth the expense.
