Things I Take For Granted in the Corporate World

Boy, the things you take for granted when working for a corporation:

• Health insurance, maybe even dental, for you and family
• A retirement plan set up for you
• Business and personal liability insurance — or lack thereof as it is hidden by the corporation
• Known vacation days and holidays
• Known work hours, in general (e.g. 8-5)
• A business plan — even when you don’t necessarily agree with it
• An office — well, a cubicle at least
• A steady paycheck, even when times are slow (unless you are laid off)

I know the above list isn’t universal to all, but I believe it is true for many.

These are just a few of the things I am thinking about as I start to venture out on my own.

What are some other corporate items you take for granted??
