stuff about work benefits 

@Kyresti i'm not sure what's the norm, but we get health/vision/dental insurance, we specifically get 160 hours of paid sick leave per year and 80 hours of other paid time off but that's 4/5 of what others get because we're working 32 hours a week (40 was too much for us and severely negatively impacting our mental health) (plus assorted Big Holidays), and a 401k with employer match or whatever you call it, 100% match for the first 5% of your paycheck that goes to it and 50% match for the second 5%, or something like that? I don't remember the specifics

re: stuff about work benefits 

@Kyresti i'm pretty sure we got really lucky with this job though

it's a startup, but started by industry veterans, the boss left his previous company because he refused to fire people his superiors were telling him to fire (i.e. he cares about the people working for him), and it kinda perfectly aligns with our interests and skills

this is not at all the norm from what we've heard from others
