When it comes to making more money or receiving better benefits from an employer, no sacrifice is too extreme for many workers today.

In a survey by personal finance website GOBankingRates.com, participants were asked six “would you rather” questions asking what they would do to:
- Double their salary
- Get a $100,000 bonus
- Receive unlimited paid time off (PTO)
- Get a free Uber ride to and from work each day
- Always have 4-day workweeks
- Have their employer pay their income taxes.
Stand-out insights from the survey include the knowledge that, in order to receive a $100,000 bonus, employees would rather live without their phones for a year than be roommates with their Human Resources (HR) director.
“While conducted in a playful manner, our survey shows how far some people are willing to go to get a raise and other employee perks. What’s important to note, though, is that there might be less drastic ways to get these benefits by negotiating with your employer,” said Kristen Bonner, lead researcher on the study.
