Why/when did jobs need to have all these benefits and perks attached to them?

It seems everything would be way simpler if jobs simply paid people a wage or salary for their services and that was it.
Why did health insurance, 401K, vacation, etc. (Now they are doing these ridiculous 10 week paternity leaves) have to become attached to a job.
Wouldn't the system be more functional to replace those perks with more pay? And cut out HR departments altogether? And then allow the employees to seek insurance and benefits elsewhere? Take vacation time off on their dollar if they want it, but otherwise keep their money?

What's ridiculous about this? Bonding with your new child is bad?

Agreed. Health insurance and vacation is for queers. I get my hands dirty seven days a week to provide for me and mine.

That's fine. You are not going to like the salary request based on those parameters.
health insurance= add $15,000 to my base salary
401K = add 5% to my base salary
vacation = add X number of weeks pay to my base salary
Let me guess. You don't want to pay all of that.

Because our tax code drives this.
Wages are taxable.
Many benefits are not

Sounds like someone isn’t too bright.

You are more than free to work hourly. Nothing is stopping you.

Healthcare being tied to employment is so retarded

You believe the medical industry should be indentured servants?

Free market competition is a beautiful thing. I'll take a system where company's offer more incentives to attract employees.

Let me guess, you run a "family" business and want to frick the people over more that work for you to increase your own profits.

You can literally negotiate higher pay and less benefits! There’s a word term for and I can’t think of it atm. But you OT geniuses know that already. Lolz

Remind me to never work for you.

You don’t seem to be very smart

I want some of what you are smoking.

New job has a way higher salary but benefits are much worse and it is kind of a wash
Posted on 7/20/23 at 10:50 am to burger bearcat
You are correct but people will whine because they can't think outside the box. Having to change your primary doctor because you change jobs is ridiculous.

Wait to the robots take your job. No vacation no benefits no complaints
