for me it's PERKS--i'm actually probably slightly under market value in payscale, but after 10 years i can pretty much come and go as i please, with some 90 minute lunches and 6 hour work shifts each week. i couldn't pull that with a new company, so i would realistically have to ask for a $10,000 raise to consider leaving for a new job--anything less than like $250 a week increase wouldn't make sense to me

Right now, it's perks. In the past it was the pay.

The hour and a half commute!

What makes me stay at my job?

The fact that there is only one hospital in my town and if I worked there my husband would be my manager.

So I drive an hour each way to a job with good pay and benefits.

Cash, period.

pay and perks plus I love my new job (as part of the Leadership Team), department and co-workers...it's a great company to work for.

my mortgage..

Both. But I'm becoming tired and jaded. I want to retire and write cookbooks and travel articles, in a little stone house in the countryside...

So much freedom and no one tells me what to do, Im too comfortable, I need to move on because the pay is not good enough.

I love what I do. If i did what i do for the pay I would not be a happy camper. I make an impact on lives. So its good stuff.

~ not knowing what it is exactly I want to do with my life

~ fear of going into another job that I hate as much (better the devil you know, etc etc)

~ laziness

~ the Org


Sad as this may sound, the day they remove internet access is the day I walk straight outta here. It would be like waking up outside of The Matrix or something

The contract and the threat of jail.....

pay. i get no perks. my pay is semi-decent enough to support the life i want to lead, and i hate going through the rigamorole of looking for a new job...though sometimes one has to face the rigamorole sooner or later.

I think that day will be coming sooner than later.

I have just found out - today - that, as of Monday, my Team is moving desks. Meaning anyone who walks past can see when I'm on the Org. Plus, as if that wasn't annoying enough, I am sitting face to face, across a divide, from two senior Managers.




I really am not happy about this. The last time it happened, I wasn't able to get on the Org properly for 3 months.

Pathetic as it is, I feel like crying.

Perks. I've been at my job since 1993, so I have a lot of seniority, nobody bothers me, I have complete artistic freedom, plus we have great health and dental benefits. Not many companies offer dental, because of the price tag. Without it, I would have had to shell out thousands of bucks for the surgeries I needed the past few years.

experience and connections...


doing resource development for the public hospital and the county health department...I get to see how the $$$ flows.

plus any medical needs, we can go to the public hospital....for only a $20 co-pay.....labs, surgeries, etc paid 100%

Funny how a lot of the women here go to their private docs but schedule the deliveries there because its 100% paid.

The drama!!!!!

Pay. Almost all the perqs are geared toward breeders, so that lets me out.

Neither, I'm just too tired to look for another job.
