RE: UKNM: Pets and perks

[Mary Loosemore]

not quite lured, but i've certainly been deterred by newcos who use their

(City) lawyers standard employment contract without a second thought ....

which means all i'm offered is the legal minimum; my pet gripe being 20 days

holiday pa with no right to carry back/forward between years. And having

fallen for the "oh well, we don't pay much attention to that anyway" line

once, i'm not doing so again! It's no easy matter maintaining a fluffy and

friendly environment - perks aren't the be all and end all - it's the people

and their attitudes who make all the difference.

Subject: UKNM: Pets and perks



Hi,

I'm writing an article for a recruitment/careers Web site about the perks

being

offered by tech companies to keep, recruit, poach and otherwise scramble

staff.


I figured that quite a few people on the list will have direct or hearsay

experience of folk being lured by pets-at-work policies,

hot-and-cold-running-massages and coffee machines that actually work -- do

let me

know if you have any stories worth repeating (anonymously off the list if

you

like)...


Or maybe post to the list so we can all find out what the going rate is --

share

options ain't what they used to be...


Many thanks,

Richard
