Find and apply to job openings from companies that value work-life balance. All jobs listed are from companies that care about their employees, not from companies with a toxic hustle culture that exploits employees by letting them work crazy long hours.
Hi john! Congrats on your launch :)
All companies can claim that they value work-life balance. But how can they "Prove" it? Is there any mechanism that verify this in your site?
@mahshidhdi Thanks! I currently do research about the company. I'm still improving the list but currently, here are some of the things I use to figure out if a company has good work-life balance (not all are required):
* Has 40 hour or less work weeks
* Rarely requires overtime work
* Has a good amount of paid time off (Bonus points if they encourage employees to take a time off, like they require you to utilize all your paid time off and/or they provide a bonus if you take a time off)
* Remote friendly
* Communication is asynchronous by default
* Well known publicly that the company value work-life balance
* Offers good employee benefits (e.g, https://basecamp.com/handbook/08...)
Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
@mahshidhdi@john200ok Hi John, great attempt! This could be a great machine learning problem to solve with many variables that you assign weights to, for example:
O = w1*a + w2*b... where a is 40 hour work weeks, b is rarely requires overtime work etc.
Negative comments on Glassdoor seem to be good indicators of the workplace culture. Positive comments are often from employees who are forced to write a good comment, while negative comments seem to be more genuine.
Lastly, this could be expanded to include companies that have a good culture overall, not just a good work life balance, but CalmJobs is a great place to start.
Hey everyone!
I've been a workaholic for years and was working crazy long hours and as a result, I struggled with health and relationship issues. I'm now recovering and been working in a more "healthier" and sustainable way. I noticed there is no existing website where I can easily find job openings from companies that value work-life balance so I built CalmJobs.io . I hope it will help people get a job that is fulfilling but at the same time gives them more time to spend with loved ones, be healthier, have more free-time to do things that they want/love outside of work.
Let me know what you think by leaving a comment 😀👇
@teemofeev DHH, Jason Fried and the Basecamp team are really a big part on why I built the site. Their books, blog posts, tweet storms etc... really changed my perspective towards work for the better.
