My boyfriend just got a job at one of the big tech companies and I finally got to see his office in person. Games, free food, endless snacks, even a gym just sitting there like it is normal. Walking through it made me laugh and hurt a little at the same time because it really shows how different workplaces can be. It had me quietly asking myself why some jobs invest so much in people while others barely do the minimum. What do you wish you had as a perk?

I honestly don’t need perks. I’d love 8 hrs days with consecutive days off and an actual break during my workday.

I try not to think about stuff like this because it just makes me bitter 😂. We can't even get our store to fix the AC and this dude has a gym at work. Different worlds. The perk I wish I had? Literally just a consistent schedule. That's it. The ability to plan my life more than two weeks in advance would be real nice.

That mix of wow and wow this is unfair is so real. Seeing those spaces really puts into perspective how uneven work life can be. Honestly, I would trade fancy perks for flexibility and feeling valued any day. A little respect goes a long way.

I always wonder why certain companies invest in their employees and others don’t. It’s pretty sad but I guess that’s how it is. I know those tech companies always take care of their employees. I know some of my friends that work for big tech corporations.

This has me considering working company😆. I also wonder why employees don’t invest more into their employees. Productivity and happiness will skyrocket.

Got news that my house closing may have to be moved due to a delay in the sale of my home. My partner’s income was excluded in the DI ratio, but if it were included we’d be well under the % threshold and can be approved to close on time regardless of the sale of my house. However our mortgage company’s underwriting team has been painfully slow in confirming if her income qualifies. She’s been at her new job 1 month after a year off. Anyone with underwriting experience have insight?

Becoming a manger in my current company/path will probably get me there in terms of TC. Also considering EMBA from a good school (Wharton Global, Duke, Kellogg, Booth).
