1. I got cut from my company during the holidays in 2016. I had a job less than a month later and was double paid for some days while the severance overlap with the new job.
2. This one is interesting to me, but also might be mildly insulting to a laborer fighting for it because they actually get tired at the end of a day's work. On call is stressful, but it's first world stressful. Furthermore, you can usually do something about it to make sure that the app gets more stable over time.
3. Again this would be interesting, but I feel no loss. The company gives me an opportunity to use the vacation days, and if I am cut from the company mid-year I am paid for the vacation days I didn't use for that year. Although at my current company This is all theoretical anyway because I am given unlimited vacation days. I know unlimited vacation days are bad and come with their own caveats, but hey, if you don't want unlimited vacation days to become the norm, Don't legislate around vacation days.
4. I'm actually pretty comfortable with this one for maternity, but men really don't need much paternity. Most of the five weeks paternity leave I was given I just screwed around and home. I need 3 days, tops.
5. Our work is flexible enough nature that we can just eat at 1:00 most of the time.
6. If your company is having you do meetings at 11:00 p.m. you can just switch companies.
7. The commute is fully paid for. You knew what you were signing up for when you started the job and they fully pay for it in your salary.

Switch it to an early in career person in a terrible economy and things become quite different. > mildly insulting to a laborer fighting for it because they actually get tired at the end of a day's work I dont understand this one > men really don't need much paternity The first year of children is a sleepless affair. It is difficult for a mother to do the heavy lifting by herself. Additionally, if the woman wants to go back to work in a few months, then that's a good time for the man to take paternity leave and step up.
