I’m doing some research on how we can better recognize/reward employees who are going above and beyond. What are ways, big and small, that your agencies celebrate people who are crushing it?

I like your question. Free coffee almost feels insulting. I like the idea of tax free money or gifts that employees actually get to choose. How about extra vacation? Lyft gift cards? Public recognition?

One of my old team leads used to gift “experiences” to circumvent employee taxes for spot bonuses and gifts. He’d allow a nice dinner up to (predetermined amount), or a (pre-approved by him) experience, to be expensed to the practice. It generally was for between $500-1000 and happened 1-2X a year, and was really well received.

Alternatively, on a small scale, my manager used to text me one day a week in the morning announcing it was “free coffee friday!” (Or thurs, or whichever). It was very consistent and very thoughtful, and made me feel really appreciated and like we were in it together

Hi all

I am getting mails to report to office.
My base location does not have a hot seat.

Should this not be the focus from HR side to get a seat allocated rather than pushing employees to report to a random office that have a seat.?

And On top of that we have to take care of our own commute even when we are in shifts.

Why is this unprofessional and unethical behaviour?
Why is an employee responsible for everything which the HR and PMO is supposed to do??

When I was a device driver developer with 2 years relevant experience I had got calls from Nvidia and Qualcomm. Unfortunately I wasn't able to crack the interviews back then.

For next 5 years I worked mostly on application development and broadening my exposure. I am not getting even a single call from such companies now.

Is it a good idea to rebrand myself as a device driver developer so that I can get calls again?

I'll start - How much do benefits factor into your job search and deciding on an offer? For me, the vacation is critical, and it reflects the extent of the agency's culture of trust.
