I recently started working in HR for a fantastic company. Hands down the best treatment I’ve seen for employees. It could quite possibly be the greatest position I’ll ever have. The salary, culture, environment, benefits and flexibility are top notch. They truly have the mindset of “happy employees equal happy customers.” I am very much an employee advocate in my role, one of the main reasons I went into the HR field. It took nine years to find a job where my ideals matched that of the company. But it happened. What’s disappointing is that this is considered progressive in the U.S. Luckily, the owner is from the Netherlands and treats his employees as such. I have never worked for a company that has put its employees wellbeing ahead of profits. Due to weather conditions coming through the Midwest, employees are asked to WFH or take personal days.

In a separate sub, a guy in Europe was talking about his experience working at a Vans shoe store. He mentioned he received full healthcare benefits and when they didn’t renew his contract, they continued paying him for 6 additional months. As an American, reading that blew my gd mind. There’s no way in hell anyone working at our Vans locations would receive a severance package let alone have a contract or guaranteed shifts. We need to be demanding these rights as workers ffs they’re the BARE MINIMUM.
