Solitude

Car allowance is one of the benefits my best friend is asking from the company hiring him. He will be occupying an executive position so naturally, a car allowance or a car plan should be included in his annual package. I am not sure if he got it but when we talked a few days ago, I was impressed with the basic salary offer that he got. The perks or benefits to be included in the package are still being negotiated with him. He would be getting an executive healthcare package, a house allowance (although my friend told me he could forego that in lieu of a higher car plan package) and other perks normally given to executives.

I reminded him that he should ask for days off to be with his wife who is in a different city. They only see each other on weekends and my friend misses his wife terribly. But since both of them have to work, they have to sacrifice a little bit more so they can save enough money and be together already. Good thing I reminded him that and he will include a three-day off at the middle of the month, so he could spend more time with his wife.
