Throw away because I don’t want this linked to my main account which includes work related posts.
I’m a senior manager at small firm (under 30 staff). During covid, our revenue skyrocketed as we were all able to work from home in a high demand industry. My boss, the business owner asked for my input in how we reward the team - he was thinking a team activity or Xmas bonus.
This sub has really made me question why we spend so much of our life working just to get by, so I put together a proposal - let’s work less and give everyone more space in their personal life.
My proposal was:
-
to provide a permanent pay increase of 10% to all staff.
-
give an extra 5 days off per year (I come from a country where 4 weeks is standard, so this increased to 5 weeks total).
-
make Monday an optional work day. Finish all your work from last week? Great, don’t come in. The week officially begins on Tuesday and that’s when we meet together. Feeling a little behind? Your Monday is for you to catch up from home, and you don’t have to meet or work with anyone else.
The proposal was accepted 4 months ago, and all I can say is wowwww - what a difference it’s made to the team happiness, with no decline in revenue.
It’s a fairly different story to what is posted here usually, but I wanted to share it, as without this sub I would never have thought to suggest such a thing.
