The other side of this post is to look at what various jobs cost. TIme and effort are the usual costs, but some jobs ask for things like willingness to deal with bullshit (a limited resource!), emotional energy, on-call readiness, various kinds of sensory or moral discomfort, and other things.
Haha, that’s absolutely correct! But without the job I wouldn’t get paid. So I guess the standard deal is getting paid in return for a set of things, and I dream about getting paid for a subset.
I mean, in theory, the employer should care about getting the work done, being there to fix the bugs and provide support, being available in case something else happens, and maybe a few more things… but spending most of my time in an open space is just unnecessary suffering for an introverted person, and a financial expense for the employer, so… haha, nope. For some reason it is important to be surrounded by other people, even when I happen to be the only person on my project (or the only team member not from India).
I’d call those absences of drawbacks, not benefits—you would have had them without the job.
