Money is pretty much main thing. Unless you are Basecamp and have that kind of fantastic treatment of employees, anything else is just pay and let me do my job, so control.

What would be the one thing you would like more companies to do that Basecamp does? Which one would improve your work life the most?

Also for anyone else, I am just going to leave this here: https://m.signalvnoise.com/employee-benefits-at-basecamp-d2d...

So, it is a question of threshold. With Basecamp you know they are committed to your wellbeing, it is not a specific perk, it is the attitude where you are certain they are with you and then you obviously don't have to think much, you can give yourself to work.

This hits home for me. Having the attitude and atmosphere like this is very important! It makes such a difference to feel that the company and community has your back. It also takes so much stress out of work and adds to excitement. Well said.
