WFH, paid overtime: What Australian workers really want

Damn, we've let working conditions slip so bad, paid overtime was for a long time a given (thanks unions), now it's a perk.

The top consideration around finding a role with work-life balance according to this year's survey was getting time off work in lieu of any additional hours worked.

So normal pay, not just giving it away for free, as has become way too normal for the 'salaryman'. Tellingly, "paid overtime" is only in the title as clickbait. Also, "fare compensation", hire an editor SBS, or at least a grammar plugin.

- Maybe fare compensation is where you get your public transport fares covered by your employer if you have to go into the office?
