I've got a first class pass valid on pretty much any train on the British network, and I also get free first class travel on most European railways - this also extends to my family.
Plus a good final salary pension.
Management? Plus a good final salary pension.

I’m going stir crazy. I travelled to Taiwan and the beginning of January and then Japan towards the end but everyone in my team has been grounded because of this bug. I never thought I’d say it but I’m looking forward to getting back on an A380 and working with that slightly buzzy, jet laggy feeling again!

I have a feeling that A380s may never be viable again.I never thought I’d say it but I’m looking forward to getting back on an A380 and working with that slightly buzzy, jet laggy feeling again!

I will add that this thread is about perks and I’ve had a moan. Apologies.
I worked as an IT contractor before and I enjoyed that, worked on some big projects and met some great people. I worked on a project that did quite well and the business owners gave us their box at Anfield for the day which was nice. In between contracts I’d make use of my HGV licence for the odd week or two.
I enjoy travel and was in the armed forces so that was good and later got to work in several civil service departments and Lockheed Martin.
I’ve had quite a varied time work wise and feel at home in the police for all the rubbish that comes with it.
The civil service was nice and comfortable, flexi time and a relaxed atmosphere, lots of public holiday and annual leave, a bar on site. Great times.
I'm currently in the civil service and after being only 3/4 years in am already bored to death. That's despite it being comfortable, having flexi time, a large amount of holidays, a reasonable commute and decent pay/progression opportunities.I worked as an IT contractor before and I enjoyed that, worked on some big projects and met some great people.

Yet recently I've been thinking more and more about joining the police instead. Would this be a stupid idea based on the current complaints police staff have?
Would be police scotland if that makes any difference (for better or worse) 😂
Being fully in control of my resignation and throwing my hand in at one place that was already a shambles, was becoming more so and when the sent us home earlier this week asking us to take our own IT home to work from home (I spend perhaps 30 minutes a day at work in the office on my 'IT' spending the rest of the time "working" with people) being able to resign online with immediate effect. Was only a bit away from retiring anyway and had no pension in this place.
Kids to look after now. Home teacher time. Otherwise I'd have NHS volunteered. Got a couple other part time jobs on contract but they will hold for a while.
