Telecommuting for IT is getting really commonplace, which is great.
Salary and bonus are doing well also.
Contingency Planning!
If assigned, when one of the unions goes on strike, you have to be at your assignment (possibly thousands of miles away) within 24 hours and be ready to work 12-hour days, 6 days a week. You only get to visit home every 3-4 weeks.
I've spent the last year having to be ready and possibly forfeit vacations because of CP12. Training is a joke.
One other thing... in IT, some applications get beat up for being a week late on a release, while other applications are 2 years late and get a pass. It gets old...
Work with managers to best cover possible strikes without treating them as your slaves.
