I just want to say that I work for an amazing boss in the UK as a software developer and a few months ago we all got pay rises and a reduction in hours. We now work 33 hours a week instead of 37.5. We get 4 weeks holiday and an extra day added after each year of work up to a total of 25 days (five weeks).

We can be sick without being moaned at and they truly do put us first and the work second. I’ve had a lot of jobs before I sorted my life out (like 50+) and I swear I have PTSD from the old ones in that I can’t believe how nice my boss is as every other have been for corpos who somehow manage to get some other poor idiot to treat you like shit whilst paying you minimum wage and expecting maximum effort.

You can see that having 50 jobs meant I was not really one to take the bullshit and I would just lose the job for giving them my thoughts.

And also pay us a fucking livable wage that's been adjusted for inflation and productivity gains over the years for fucks sake.

Only 4 weeks? For an entire year? That's brutal.

Eh... They'd prefer to double down on the happiness beatings.
