    Where does this guy work work that has him in a position capable of “saving the company” but without either correspondingly high pay or stock options?

        A lot of those smaller businesses also recognize that effort at least a little bit. It can be simple stuff like bringing a work van home, being able to borrow tools, throwing the odd lunch or coffee on the company card. Sure its not life changing bonuses or benefits but its better than nothing.

          That hasn’t been my experience working for Mom and pop companies. A lot of claims that everyone here is family, mean the fail son or daughter in a do nothing position for the company is getting paid more for doing less.

      All of us health care workers saved both society and lives. Called heroes by management.

      I still havent got my vacation days back from the cancelled vacations during the pandemic (was promised days, got money because “ledighet ges enligt vad verksamheten tillåter”, which means the by law stipulated periods or you are out of luck, and my last raise was around 3%. Doesnt quite make me feel valued as a hero and now Im going to school for blue collar workshop education
