What about a company that would offer this for its consultants ?
1 day per month remote working (because, hey, who doesn't want remote?)
1/2 day per month free time dedicated to side projects (Engineers need to have some spare time to play along with side projects), full-time pay though 😉
24/7 access to a top notch MOOC in order to get technical skills always sharp
Slack : Never get stuck on a problem / Communicate with other members, peer help an chat
Github for the company, because sharing is caring (Open Source is Life)
I dig your first two points! I'd really like to have that where I work. Especially the half day to work on side projects. A friend of mine is working at a company where every Friday afternoon is dedicated time on side projects and learning new things... lucky bastard!
Another really nice thing would be the ability, for a consultant, to suggest things without being laughed at or being answered "You are just a consultant, you can't suggest things!". As an example, I like your Slack idea, if I suggested that to my employer, I would probably be answered with a plain and barely justified "No" (something like "that's not how we do things" I'd guess).
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
