And I'll get paid just to click a single button. I never expected to have a job that actually prioritizes the needs of the employees more than productivity.

Long story short, I both work for and use the ride service at my company since I don't have a vehicle of my own, and since I'm both a driver and a rider they asked/ I offered to test the new app to schedule and cancel rides.

They wanted me to cancel my ride using my phone tomorrow morning, and then they'll call me to reschedule it, and my boss told me to set my clock in time for when I hit the cancel button, so I'll get paid while I get ready and head to work.

It's honestly the most simple thing ever, but I've never had a job offer to pay me for work done outside of company hours, let alone telling me things like, “If you have any appointments you can't miss, please reschedule us not the other way around,” or “if a rider ever makes you uncomfortable please let us know so you don't drive for them anymore.”

The pay isn't the best, but with all of the accommodations I get for my disability it's worth it for now, and it's only been a week but every day I'm surprised by how relaxed everything is. (My boss also uses words like “team” and not “family” and that viewpoint alone makes a big difference I think)
