I stay because of these people at my house with their unreasonable demands for food, clothing and shelter. Hmmph. Freeloaders.

I would pay 1 million between 400 employees for them to go home for the day if I hit for over 100 million. Call it charity or work stoppage...  | |

Money is the only reason we're here
Only a fool would think otherwise.
No-one is here simply because they like it.
Everyone's basic needs require money.
You can't disagree with this.

I stay because I'm a feeder driver. My job is gravy. My job right now is at most a nine hour day. Physical work is 1 to 1.5 hours at most and the other 7.5 to 8 hours of it is just driving. I believe in a fair days pay for a fair days work and also working smarter not harder. Had I not left packages 5 years ago when I did I would have left the company most def.

I have two little girls not in school yet and they need to see the doctor/dentist a lot. The benefits are really hard to leave. The money is of course good. However, I'm still part time cause I stay home with my little succubus and I know there isn't a better pt job out there for that.

I work as AE in Tijuana MX, and i can say that I stay because of the money and the health benefits, but we work under a lot of preassure and more in these times, where economy goes down, the BD Stuff it doesn't care if a company closes or their volume goes down due to economic situation, they just ask you for more and more packages. In MX we dont have same benefits that US employees has, but as most of you say: What can we do... | |

Seriously,
Sometimes I can't wait to get to work just to see what happens next! Seems lately it's anybody's guess.
Of course the compensation package is beneficial with 4 kids.
