Why should there even be a "compromise"?
My employer gives me free health care. Should that be restricted so I have to spend my own dollars and not get the benefit of a group plan?
Should employers not be allowed to give a transit subsidy because it hurts Lyft/Uber?
Maybe tech companies should not be allowed to offer stock based compensation because it's unfair to other city residents who work jobs without such things.
- grahamburger 8y agoHonestly as an employee it felt like a win all around. If I was tired of the office or my co workers I could go somewhere else. Tried a lot of restaurants I wouldn't have otherwise, so great for them. And the company didn't have to scale their cafeteria as fast as they might have otherwise when hiring.
- scarface74 8y agoMy employer gives me free health care. Your health care is not “free” it’s part of your compensation where the employer gets to choose how you’re compensated. I get healthcare via my wife’s insurance and I would much rather have the money. In a sane society, your health care wouldn’t be tied to your employer.
- optimusclimb 8y agoIt's "free" in the same sense that the food is.
- iamdave 8y agoContesting this on the grounds that until a line-item on my paystub starts showing up for the cost of a free lunch, I don't think they're comparable at all.
- Noumenon72 8y agoThe line-item on your pay stub was a mandate from Obamacare for price transparency. Prior to that the employer contribution for healthcare did not appear.
