She and Betty are truly angels. No one else can compare.

this is something i wish other employers would get through their heads. providing perks and benefits to employees is not an inconvenience. employers want to argue, “well if we give benefits from the start, what will stop them from taking advantage and then leaving in a couple month?” what will stop them is HAVING AN EMPLOYER WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT THEM.

Employers are so paranoid "those leeching employees" want to "take advantage" of them.

Uh, no, remember, employees generate wealth for you that we'll never see. The least you can do is give decent perks.

totally. the paranoid employers most worried about “leechers” are also the worst in employee treatment. they dont realize that caring for their employees means more loyalty, less turnover, higher productivity. they always want to blame the employees for leaving rather than finding ways to make them want to stay

it’s infuriating

[scullies]

it’s so backwards too - benefits like this incentivize the fuck out of people to stick around even during hard times.

love seeing a wealthy person who actually gives back to the community

Damn, wow nice. I enjoyed my visit, couldn't pay me to go back into that neck of the woods.

Can't take it with you!
