Does a bear....well you know the rest.
Yes, on most of these, I’m sure.
no one will clean your house for $60 and you cannot get a manicure for $19
The reason why “benefits” were even introduced stemmed from salary freezes in the 1970s. Companies started bundling “benefits” packages to attract talent despite bad salaries. Now everyone expects to get benefits when they sign on with a company.
They recently took away a coffee bar staffed by actual baristas in our corporate office, and people howled like you wouldn’t believe. I can’t wait to see what happens when Obamacare forces HR to either rescind our corporate health insurance or severely curtail it. Wallpaper will be falling off of the walls from the collective screeching.
It’s not a benefit if it’s something you need. Just keep paying my salary, and I’ll deal with everything else, thanks.
As expected, they asked me to wear a uniform. I love it-- one less thing I have to spend my money on and one less source of complaints from certain whiny upper management types who thought I dressed too casually.
That’s nice, for as long as the startup stays in business.
And some people would prefer cash.
But if my company could get a group discount for housecleaning, I’d jump at that.
Sounds like a benefit we ALL are entitled to. When Obama comes in from his next round, he should make an executive order that puts all his illegal aliens to work doing the jobs Americans won’t do; cleaning their own homes. A great opportunity to check out subjects’, er citizens’ homes to see how many guns or how much booze they have, etc.
This idea has legs!
More often companies make it possible for employees to clean their own houses. Full-time.
“be seeing you!”
quite frankly i don’t want agents of my employer snooping around my place under the guise of cleaning. they find something my boss doesn’t like (perhaps the wrong brand of sodapop?) and i could lose my job.
no thanx
Housecleaning? Ha, more like snoops reporting back to the boss the contents of your medicine cabinet and bedside tables.
Spa? No, thanks. I don’t want a nail infection nor do I want some stranger rubbing all over me, ick.
Laundry service. Again, no thanks. I’d rather strangers not handle my inimate wear. Besides, it’s not like I have to go down to the rive and beat the clothes on rocks. I have those new fangled gadgets that do all the hard work for me. I think I can schedule in 15 minutes a week to put my laundry into the washer and drier and hang them up.
Overpriced sandwiches? No. I’d rather pack a pb&j and pocket the price of those sandwiches.
Decor? Gee whiz! Give me the 10K in cash and I’ll use whatever desk and chair Billy Bob sent off to storage.
Sure, I’ll take the extra week of vacation but I’d rather they put the $6k into my retirement. I haven’t spent $6k for all my vacations combined.
The only perk that makes me happy is a larger paycheck.
No thanks, I will take the doughnuts.
I'd rather have the 2400 bucks and clean my own house.
Making a note to check my portfolio for some of the more egregious companies. Especially the one that offers free housecleaning.
