Here here! I like this sentiment. There are so many things you can ask for
too... telecommuting and other flex time benies were mentioned as well as
conferences and professional fees. I think it might be useful to compile a
list. Off hand I can think of:
* Cable or ISDN access from home
* Laptop computer
* Training, advanced education, and/or certification
* Health, retirement, standard benies
* Stock
I would be very interested in what other folks have asked for or would like
to ask for.
