   Abstain The policy is certainly a lot simpler and clearer. Since this now no longer affects me in any way what so ever, I'm creating a new status for myself -- "Abstain". I'm content to watch if any other shifts to the document occur (and might change my status at that time), but don't want to be a gating factor on this right now and shouldn't be counted in the tallies pro or con at this point. edit

   It would still be great to have your thoughts, but "abstain" is ok too - RK

   Discussion

   Comments and discussion related to my previous stance (re: health insurance) can be viewed in the history; they were taken out of this document because they've all been resolved or proven moot under the new policy.

   YES With the return of the $750 contribution, I feel it is necessary to either define more clearly the terms of this offer or leave it to the company's discretion. edit

      Abstain This poll is meaningless, the management should simply decide whatever they want to do i.e. whether pay 10%, 20%, 100% ... or not at all. I think many people formulating the policy will never make everybody happy. edit

      NotYet I'd like to see all employees with health benefits before spending money on a contribution for an employee owned notebook. I think if an employee would like to work on a notebook the company should buy one for them to use for the length of their employment. A company contribution for an employee owned notebook is a good idea, but should probably come sometime later. edit

      YES This is good for AboutUs and good for me. edit

      Hey Tanwir, can you expand on why you think this is good for AboutUs and you?

      Hi Tanwir, I wonder if you would be interested in facilitating this consensus poll? Best, Obed Suhail

      Obed, Thank you, I am honoured that you have asked me to facilitate this consensus poll but I think I will decline your kind offer and remain a participant for the moment. I appreciate being asked though. Thanks again. Tanwir Shah

      I would be happy to expand upon the comment I made above:

      I feel that this offer is good for AboutUs for a number of reasons:

      • By sharing the cost the company is saving money
      • It could also increase productivity as a laptop is portable and we can work anywhere.
      • It gives the image of a caring company by given staff the right to own their own laptop.

      It is good for me because if I wanted to buy a top of the range laptop I probably would not be able to afford one. By paying 50% of the cost in 6 installments at the end of which I would own the laptop outright is infinitely more affordable.

      YES I really like this project: Employee Benefits. Most of my concerns are now addressed. edit

      Discussion

      Obed,

      Please correct me if I'm wrong. Here's what I'm hearing.

      1. LaptopContribution is not the most important employee benefit of those that could be provided.
      2. If we could address employee benefits as a whole, that would be best.
      3. If we are not going to address employee benefits as a whole immediately, it might make sense to approve this policy, with the understanding that we would be able to address other employee benefits soon.

      How did I do? TedErnst | talk 20:40, 19 September 2007 (PDT)

      Excellent! Yes, this is exactly what I am thinking. Obed Suhail

      Obed, what do you think about a Benefits Consensus Poll? TedErnst | talk 21:01, 19 September 2007 (PDT)

      I really like this initiative and the Employee Benefits project. Obed Suhail
