Best perks of your job?
Discussion
I work from home mostly but that is less of a perk and more role determined.
If you do attend the office there is free toast all day, free breakfast cereal, pool tables, xbox and a Friday beer fridge.
They use a perklife scheme to offer us discounted things such as restaurant discount cards and the like as well.

For me, it's the flexible working hours and the ability to work from home.
^^^Currently going to interviews for jobs that allow this. I can't take a piss when I need to...but to keep it positive...amount of holiday. Especially August's pay when I've not set foot in the building.

Thanks - Monday morning for my second interview. Will be nice to be able to drop the youngest off at school and take the dog for a walk in the morning if I get it!
And... right there, we have reasons why companies don’t like people ‘working’ from home Similar to above - working from home with flexible hours and generally being treated like an adult by my employer.
Yes, that means school runs, dog walks and runs within daylight hours in the winter but I make up for that by returning to my office whenever necessary in the evenings to catch up on communications, particularly as I work with the US a lot.

I get to spend my days driving around in some lovely parts of East Devon and West Dorset in my old pick up truck whilst listening to Hancock's Half Hour, John Finnemore or anything else that's amusing, drinking tea and cleaning windows on some very nice country houses.
I must say that most of the time it's rather enjoyable
