Vantaggi
I came for the pay slip, stayed for the suspiciously healthy work environment. No micro-managers breathing down my neck, just the sweet, sweet sound of trust. Either I’m actually competent, or they’ve just forgotten I exist—either way, I’m thriving. Pros: No micro-managers – I’m trusted like an adult human. Revolutionary. Flexibility - I can load the washing machine and dishwasher guilt free. Working from home – PJs are optional, productivity is not. Happy colleagues – Either everyone’s genuinely joyful or there’s something in the virtual teapot. Either way, it’s contagious. Management that cares – Like, actually cares. Not just “We care 😊” in Comic Sans on a corporate poster. Nothing is too much trouble – Ask for help and someone will appear like a helpful genie, minus the lamp. Employee-first culture – When there’s a disagreement, management picks us over the client. It’s like being the favourite child, all the time. Manageable workload – I can finish my work and still remember what my hobbies are. Wild concept.
Svantaggi
I now judge all my friends’ jobs and silently pity them. I’m starting to worry it’s too good to be true. Is this how cults start?
