Cool! But is that actually answering my post? I was giving an example for reasons that might lead to the 'is the job secure' discussions, as pointed out in the article. Your post isn't related. Weekends and salaries were not part of the discussion before your post. Job security (a.k.a. "Sorry, Jim. We need to let you go") was. So I don't quite get it. If you wanted to reemphasize that it makes no sense to apply to a tiny startup in a situation like mine: Okay, I didn't need that support, but I'm happy you're agreeing. If you wanted to tell me that it's not that bad, since - hey - many startups can 'give their employees weekends' (did you think before writing that? Are you really convinced that 'giving' is involved here?) and offer competitive salaries (which might be the case. It just totally, utterly ignores the point I was trying to make: Job security matters, financially. I didn't even start talking about the emotional level here: Lack of job security will make your life more miserable (unless you've got enough FU money on the bank)).
