6/29 Do you pay for parking where you work?
I assume large companies (Intel, govt, etc.) cover this.
Our 30-person company is moving into a suite in a class A building
(high-rise), and we're being asked to pay 20%, which comes out to
~ $15/month. Just trying to figure out whether it's weird or not.
We also pay 20% for health insurance.
\_ When I was at Intel (1997-2000), the parking structures were
constructed by Intel. We had to have ID to park, but there was no
fee for doing so. You got premium spots if you car-pooled. And
everyone in the company got VTA passes so we could ride the bus
free (which I did for most of my time there). -emarkp
\_ It is not unusual to have to pay for parking in areas where
parking is difficult to find (e.g. downtown LA). Some employers
subsidize the cost, like yours is. This is typical.
\_ Most employers also subsidize the cost of your desk and computer,
in addition to electricity for power-hungry servers and AC.
This is typical.
\_ I work for the US District Court. They do not pay for or provide
parking. --erikred
\_ Employees at Century City need to pay $200/month and it's normal.
Varies by cities.
\_ So you know for a fact that it's normal for Century City workers
to pay $200/month (non-subsidized) in parking?
\_ I work at Levi's Plaza in San Francisco and my employer (200
employees) does not pay for parking, which is $200/mo. They
do provide a $45 subsidy towards a Fast Pass if you live in
SF, or $90 if you live elsewhere.
SF, or $90 if you live elsewhere. I know for a fact that
companies in downtown San Francisco rarely or ever offer
free parking to their employees. -ausman
\_ I don't pay for parking. I also currently work in bum-fucking
nowhere (Google earth features only recognizable at ~2km up.) -John |
