I guess I’m too young to remember the “good ol’ days” of companies.
At one of my previous jobs, a guy in his 60’s had been there for 30+ years. He joined in the days where contracts included generous redundancy and superannuation and said that if he ever got made redundant he’d be set for life.
Unfortunately for him he was actually great to work with and good at his job, so he will probably be there until he retires of his own accord.
When I joined the workforce there was and still is none of that. There’s really no room for other benefits beyond negotiating a higher salary / wage. So we just go for the intangibles that lead to a better work/life balance instead, like flexible hours and remote work. We owe the company nothing beyond the time agreed in the contract
