Now if we started talking bonuses, I think the O&G folks would kick some butt...

I agree, I'm a little surprised as well. I work in the industry and always wonder if I'm getting the shaft compared to others in the industry.

Indeed - and the weird thing is, every time I figure it's time to go they just throw more time-off at me. It's a surprisingly effective strategy.

4 - Employee or Contractor. Employee
5 - did you negotiate for more than standard when interviewing. Yup I sure did, I got 10% more. It can't hurt to ask.
