Requesting time off is just a formality. There’s no harassment for using sick leave. Around 3% raises every year, usually, it’s negotiated. We still have a pension with rule of 85. Stand by pay while on call. Full wages paid while serving on jury duty. Some rarer benefits would be around $2k paid towards hearing aids and lasik.
The ability to leave work at work is priceless. There’s a line drawn in the sand and it’s respected.
We’ve had some employees paid to retire early, but I’m unaware of any layoffs throughout the history of the company.
It’s pretty wonderful. It’s the way everyone should be treated regardless of where they’re employed. Or unemployed. The profits over people bullshit has gotten outta hand.
