I see plenty of jobs going unfulfilled in the ads and they mostly have one thing in common.
High demands and intrusion on personal life.
Apparently these "we want to own you" positions are becoming difficult to fill even in these miserable economic conditions.
I find this a good sign. I want Engineers to demand more quality of life and less pay so this factor will work into employers expectations.
Some of the things i would like to see go away.
1 24/7 on call with pager.
2 PTO vacation management with no sick time.
3 Frequent travel requirements.
4 Frequent weekend work in addition to full weekday work.
So how about it guys, lets kick back and consider NOT buying that boat or new car and spend the difference on our free time.
Engineers have for too long been workaholics.
Balance makes best eh ???
Do you agree ??
