It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work
by Jason Fried, David Heinemeier Hansson
This book tell the interesting tale of company Basecamp, that limits its ambition to prioritize stability over growth. That then translates to giving people great compensation (top 10% pay of San Francisco compensation, regardless of where you live), great work hours (no working after hours, plus four-day-weeks during Summer, and focus on delivery instead of hours), and great benefits (vacation fund, education fund).
On one hand, it's great to see that a company is able to achieve such standards that the average employee could only dream of. On the other hand, companies that can do this are, in my opinion, privileged few - they must have consistent revenue from an evergreen successful product.
I recommend reading this book for a "what if" evaluation of work experience.
The book also has some insights into how to structure work so it's remote-first. There may be better resources out there if that's your focus. But, granted, this is the story of a company that has been doing remote-first successfully for decades.
