Perks of your job
Discussion
Off the back of my other thread...
What is the best perk of your job?
Today, with the sunshine I'd probably say working in a place with about 6000 fit girls!
(PS- I noticed the spelling mistake in the title. It should be JOB not jb. Sorry.)

Unfortunately I have fewer and fewer.
A paid for car and driver, though not really a perk more a neccessity, deciding when to knock off for the day, of course that is decided by how much work is outstanding.
Biggest perk though would be only working 6 months of the year, I am on a 28/28 rota.

Mine's not a job that really has perks (other than the fact that I really enjoy my work, which is always good).
ETA: Actually, there is, when I think about it. A grown-up attitude to expenses with a policy that basically boils down to "don't take the piss". There's no daft limits on not being able to buy a couple of beers with dinner, or how much dinner can be, or whether the receipt can be hand-printed (as long as there's a VAT number on it, it's good), and so on.
It's a little thing, but seeing the stress and aggravation caused when dining with folks from partner organisations trying to shoe-horn their dinner into twenty quid, not being allowed to claim for alcoholic drinks, having to stay in truly s
tbox hotels, etc, I'm minded to think that it's a bit of a boon.

The drinks machine outside my office is set to 'free vend'.
Read it and weep, suckers.
I'll see your drinks machine and raise you a proper kettle, with proper mugs, teaspoons, crates of proper blue-top glass-bottled milk and big pots of teabags, coffee and sugar. Of course, it is more labour-intensive, which means it takes a fair bit longer Read it and weep, suckers.
