What Your Job Benefits Are Really Worth

This is a very good thread indeed. I wish my company would send out a memo that reminded people of this.

They fought our health care for YEARS to keep our prices from going up. Most of us have gas cards, live on the per diem, company provided cars, laptop, cell phone, work polo shirts, etc. I get through the year with an average of 2 months time off. They have the MOST flexible 'time off' policy I've ever seen.

We are (typically) quick to judge the shortcomings of our employers, but very slow to realize what they ARE doing for us. Don't forget they are an EMPLOYER that exists to make money, they can't just give it all to you-but they usually give you something.
