Meanwhile, 16 percent said they’d relinquish some vacation or personal time to work for another employer, while one in four conceded they’d work more hours.
Twenty percent would take less pay to work elsewhere, and 19 percent said they’d accept either no bonus, or one that was reduced.
The survey also reveals that 30 percent would adhere to a strict dress code at a new job, 28 percent said they’d commute a longer distance, and 26 percent were willing to accept a smaller office or desk space.
