Take Snapchat, for instance, which offers employees many of the perks you find at the nation’s best-monetized firms, and yet has the lowest percentage of employees saying they’re happy (38.32 percent). Perhaps that high degree of unhappiness is due to Snapchat’s secrecy, micromanagement, or oddly fractured office environment (at least as described in a 2016 Business Insider piece); but whatever the cause, the free food and healthcare isn’t moving the happiness needle like you might expect.
Other companies where the employees aren’t happy include Oracle (41.36 percent), Oath/Verizon Media (42.42 percent), and Booking.com (44.29 percent). (Granted, Blind’s surveys are anonymous and thus un-scientific, but we’re assuming they’re accurate to a certain degree; Blind surveyed 10,677 users of its app between Jan. 15-25.)
And what are the happiest companies? LinkedIn leads on that front, with 83.25 percent of employees reporting themselves as happy, followed by Uber (77.78 percent), Salesforce (73.20 percent), Apple (71.43 percent), and Tesla (68.89 percent).
At Uber, are the men happy they can sexually harass then the women are unhappy about being harassed?
I wonder if there will be more employee turnover now. Lots of people are unhappy, and there’s a record number of job openings. Most companies on that list are hiring, so people can make a switch.
The company is stingy with additional stock when the stock increases. Every level has a target comp which assumes the stock increases by 15%/yr. When prior grants increase in value enough to put people above target comp, then they get smaller or grants. It’s really weird if you’ve been here <4 years and are under the 5, 15, 40, 40 vesting from hire on grant.
