I suppose it comes down to the overall package offered. If a company declines to "treat" its staff to premium travel and it's your third time in as many weeks sitting cramped in coach from Dallas to Hong Kong with a large noisy family around you and you think to yourself: "What the *** am I doing here?" then it's probably time to look for an exit strategy. If you're still happy enough with your job for other reasons then you'll find a way to cope with it.
