Absolutely. As I said when I had car issues, which are ongoing for almost a year now, I was able to work from home.

If I’m not in a good head space I can just log off and make up the time whenever I want. I get as much support as I ask for.

With the no targets (even if my brain doesn’t do well with that) it means I just work and never get questioned about how long something is taking.

My boss will take my neurotic nature into account when doing things. So when he took me out of the office to give me my raise after a year he messaged first to say can you come outside with me, don’t worry it’s not for anything bad.

I am being mentored and when I ask for help he will break things don’t and tell me why he made certain choices when engineering a solution.

Edit: Naturally this is my first role in this industry so I have no frame of reference.

this just sounds like the bare minimum they should do...

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This strikes me as you’ve never had to work menial jobs before, as the bare minimum in the other 60 jobs I’ve had in my life is paying me money, and nothing more.

I currently only have 2 weekends off and i've had much much worse.

Most jobs don't actually offer the bare minimum. That doesnt mean the bare minimum should be praised, its the bare minimum. Key word should.
