I work from home and have to wear a company uniform and work against a company-provided backdrop.
Good to see that’s not true of everyone.
OMG quit!
I have a pension and an incredible retirement plan and free healthcare. My second stroke a couple of years ago cost me nothing. I’m also paid 30% more than my peers in similar work.
I will quit this job when they lift my still-talking skeleton from the chair. Jobs like this are not to be thrown away.
If my boss wants to see me in uniform against a company backdrop on camera while I do my work, so fucking be it, my benefits are incredible.
As a Euro that's just the legally mandated bare minimum here, I keep forgetting that USA and Canada (to a lesser extent) have such fucked up workplaces
I should clarify: the life I have is fine, for now, and that what I wear when I work from home doesn’t matter, since only my employers see it.
I get to wear my own clothes off the clock.
My life doesn’t need adjustment.
It’s just good to see that not everyone has a job like mine.
My partner did home office sitting on the sofa wearing her pyjamas, while she was on video call with academics from all over Europe. Her boss was delighted with her.
Omg, I wish I had a job like that, I’m a tad underpaid and my work benefits are close to none. The one good thing is that we’re about to be bought, or something like that, by a big company and I saw that one of the conditions is to improve salary and benefits for us, to match what is standard in that company.
The benefits you describe are the same as you get for merely existing in Norway many European countries. My healthcare is almost free and I'm unemployed. The more I work, the better my pension will be, but even if I remain unemployed until retirement age I still get enough to live on. No-one outside of the service industry wearing a uniform.
That’s great and all, but a stroke-addled trans woman does not have great chances of immigration, as I’m a burden to whatever medical system I’m on.
I appreciate the advice, but I’m going to stay here.
your dog knows what's up 👀
Very cool look!
Love the outfit!
