They didn’t ask me, but I’ve been saying this for a long time — give me more vacation!
Another new study, by Sibson Consulting, reports that it wouldn’t take much to lure many employees from their current jobs. Surprisingly, given the stock markets’ recent gyrations, fully half of the people Sibson polled would take a new job for just $1,000 worth of equity, even if the stock a new employer gave them couldn’t be sold for three years. Just as popular: extra vacation days. “Employees would rather have more time off than an equivalent amount of compensation,” according to Sibson. “Half of American employees would quit to take a new job offering ten more days of vacation time, and 75% would leave if offered 15 more days of vacation.”
