Working atmosphere?

Hi, How important is the working atmosphere at your work place to you? Does these factors decide whether you quit your job or not? 1. Good air conditioning 2. Comfortable chairs and desk 3. PC with good configuration 4. Availability of good food at work or nearby. 5. Access to internet without restrictions 6. Hygienic surroundings. 7. Spacious work place 8. Descent pay 9. Opportunity to learn new technology related to work 10.Friendly colleagues I feel all the above would be close to a perfect job. But unfortunately I do not have most them at my work place. Any comments on this? Regards, Blumen
[edit]This is what I think things should be like, not necessarily what my workplace is like[/edit] 1. Yes 2. Yes 3. Yes 4. If you mean food at the office, yes. If you mean company policies allowing food to be consumed at the desk, NO! 5. Without restrictions? Surely pr0n and warez sites should be blocked? 6. Yes 7. Yes 8. Yes! 9. Yes 10. Yes

I find 1, 3, 4, especially 5, and 9 important, and one you don't mention, and that is a quiet workplace. My use of headphones should be limited to not disturbing my colleagues, i.e. not exposing them to my noise; they should not be used to protect myself from others' noise.
Agree on the quiet part. Used to have a colleague who talk very loud, imagine someone speaking at "lecture hall without microphone" type of volume. It annoyed the heck out of everybody in the office, and I had to resort to protect myself from his noise, like you mentioned, at volume set at 80-90% on an IPod. The lucky part is, he is gone.

Many more

My psychologist at the time, and others, have recommended not eating at one's desk. I nearly always do anyway, but the experts say you should get away and have a proper break to eat.

Why? Surely people that surf pron and warez should just be fired.

1: depends where you are. 2: nice to have. 3: a must. 4: nice to have: started taking food in. 5: nice to have. 6: ? 7: lucky you. 8: EXCELLENT pay or go elsewhere. 9: should do in own time. 10: who cares: these are not people I'd choose as friends :-) And the absolute must for me: 11: close proximity to convenient public transport; in my case must be close to a central line station and must be able to go door-to-door in under an hour.

all the above would help me work properly and have job satisfaction.. A pat on the shoulder by the manager is also important if we do a good job, appreciation is important for boosting the morale. We indians gets satisfied very easily, u give him a pc and a a tenth of what an American needs to be paid, he is happy. They dont care about their health, nor about enjoying life along with work. Is it wrong to wish for all those points that I've listed in the first thread, i dont think so..

Well so far I have 1,2,3,4,6,7,8 and 10 (with a little 9 thrown in). I work for a fantastic organization, 4 months ago they purchased all the programmers new computers with: 1. Dual Intel Duo-Core processors 2. 4 GB Memory 3. 2 250 GB HD 4. ATI X1950XTX video card 5. DVD-RW+ 6. Dual 21 inch monitors I know the dual Duo-Core processors is over-kill but it's nice to have. As for the spacious work area, granted we work in cubicles (as do most employees) but the cubicles are at least twice as big as anything I've worked in in my career. As for the pay, I just got a raise that moved me to the middle upper-class for this area (my pay went up about $950 a month) and it's going to go up again this year, they've hired a company to evaluate our pay based on the "norm" for this state, which takes into account Microsoft on the other side of the state. All in all, this is far and away the BEST organization I've ever worked for and I couldn't be happier.

We've got it really, really nice where I work. When we built our current building 7-8 years ago, they planned for and built a fitness room and locker facilities. We've got club-quality equipment, with a two treadmills, two elliptical machines, a stepper, a stationary bike, and a rower. We also have a nice Universal-style gym and a set of free weights and benches. The space is nice and roomy as well. We've had people using the all of the equipment, and there's floor space left over for a line-dancing class. On top of that, our location is ideal. We've got 8-10 running routes around our building, ranging from flat to hilly, roads or trails, and from 3 to 8 miles. I can commute to work on my bicycle (I live 12 miles away) and stay on bike paths most of the way, if I want. These are major inducements for me. Every time the crap starts running too fast and deep, I try to remember why I'm here: to run and work out at lunch :-D.
