Do tech pros feel valued at their jobs? Most tech pros do, but a resounding number are on the fence or downright unhappy at work. Last week, we queried our tech pro readership<\/a> to discover if they felt valued. It\u2019s a touchy subject, because value doesn\u2019t always<\/em> mean pay, but that\u2019s the point: What does value mean to you, and are you<\/em> feeling appreciated at work? We chose to focus on pay and benefits, since that\u2019s how most of us would define value. (We also covered what would make tech pros quit<\/a> in a previous survey, leaving more room for a discussion on pay and benefits this time around.) Our survey results show 64 percent of respondents are at least<\/em> unhappy enough to look for work somewhere else. The slight majority of this crowd (33 percent overall) are happy at work, but want to find something that pays more and has better benefits. 31 percent say their pay \u201csucks\u201d and the benefits are \u201claughable.\u201d <\/p>\n
