The Truth About Tech Company Perks(blogs.wsj.com) |
I work for non-profits as a rule now, having seen the futility in chasing the money. I'm happier making less, solving interesting problems for people who cannot afford to pay huge amounts of money. I'm not the most talented guy in the world, but I have solid skills most IT employers desire, and I get things done with little to no budget save new HW every now and then. Gotta love libre/free/OSS. Never, ever should a business pay for a software license again IMHO. I have not paid for software in since 1998, and will never do so again.
Perks should be real and tangible. Let's start with paying 100% of every employee's health insurance first. The donuts, dry cleaning , and other crap are worthless.
