• In-office work (for all employees) is #1
• Health insurance is a close second
• Work hours are next most important
• Reasonable salary and PTO matter but not hugely. As long as it’s generally fair I don’t need/want to wring every possible cent out of my employer.
• I don’t value reimbursements, snacks, etc. at all. I’d rather just spend the money I’m paid on things I want.
- jmpman 3y agoYou’re the first person outside of the c-suite I’ve heard demand in-office work for everyone. Maybe you are in the c-suite?
- jackdh 3y agoSounds very much like management at least.
- antasvara 3y agoSome people like being in the office. If you're a person that likes being in the office, it's not fun if there's nobody else in there with you (as is often the case in hybrid or remote-optional work environments). It's not for everyone, and it's certainly not something that I'm interested in. But it's not unreasonable that someone prefers in office and isn't management.
- marcin_pikusa 3y agoI have the same: - I don't have great work conditions at home - I live in the city so commuting is not a problem(currently it's 7 min by bike) - I enjoy having face to face contact with coworkers I still can work remotely but I mostly work from office
- paulcole 3y agoNope! I just prefer working in-office with other people in an office.
- danwee 3y ago> • In-office work (for all employees) is #1 Why for all employees? Why not just for your team? Or your area? Or your department? E.g., if you are an engineer, why do you care that the marketing team has to be in the office as well? Unless C-level. Then I would understand.
- paulcole 3y agoNot C-Level. I just prefer being in an office and working at a company that values that as well. I do prefer smaller companies (15 or fewer people is ideal) so the "my team" thing doesn't apply as much. If you're not willing/able to find 5-15 people who will sit in a room together and work, I'm not particularly interested.
- altdataseller 3y agoWhat constitutes excellent health insurance for you? Is it the company they offer it from? (Ie United healthcare)? How much premiums they pay for?
- paulcole 3y agoI didn't say excellent health insurance lol. Just that health insurance is something that matters to me. I have Type 1 diabetes and basically know that I'm going to get fucked by almost every health insurance in existence. Basically I want to have some confidence that I can keep my yearly healthcare costs below $7,500. That's assuming nothing else unexpected happens. Generally, I'm looking for a Gold plan or better with as much of the premium paid by the employer as possible.
