There was a time when your comment would have rung true. What we have seen in the past 15 years is a continual decrease in employee benefits. The industry and company are in decline!!!
- cost of living for domestic assignments eliminated
- 401k match eliminated
- calculation for home loss protection changed to no longer consider any investment after initial purchase
- moving allowances no longer tax protected
- education reimbursement reduced then eliminated
- vehicle disposition allowances eliminated
- appliance disposition allowances eliminated
- continued changes to expat assumed in Houston costs (increase) and assignment costs (decreased) resulting in lower pay
- reduced education benefits for children of expats while in assignment
I could go on and on. Get out.
