10+ Things I Like About My Job

I gripe internally and externally about my job, and since there's a chance I'll be leaving it soon, I don't want to go without saying it has overall been a positive experience.  Here's why.

• They offered me a job when I was unemployed.
• They paid me 6 figures (first time, and while I was still in my 30s). 
• Discretionary PTO (I've taken off at least 10 days within my first 6 months). 
• Work from home (pre-COVID)
• Work from home stipend
• Work from home equipment (I never went through the official channels, but it exists.)
• For a corporate gig, there are not a lot of meetings or emails. I mean I have one 15-30 min team huddle meeting a week.  I add this because I know this is something people complain about a lot in the corporate world. 
• 401k matching, health insurance
• Free leftovers from other people's meetings
• Onsite cafe and clinic
• All the other perks from working in an office setting
• Low call volume the last month or so without a reduction in base salary. 

The gripes have mostly been me trying to make a pretty good gig into a pretty great gig.  That is to say it has always been good-to-great gripe.
