  • Free Coffee would make me so Perky!

  • Fleet car. I do pay 150 a month but I get gas card , car washes, maintenance and repairs, tag, title, taxes, and insurance all covered. I could drive to Nevada and back without paying a.dime of gas.

    I'm a contractor, but the company we contract for gives us access to some of the benefits their employees get. There's a concierge service onsite that will personal shop, take your dry cleaning, take your vehicle for maintenance/tires/detailing, run errands for you, etc. it's really nice to have available when working long shifts.

    And there's free coffee 😊

  • @Auroradream

    Why you think I drive everywhere lol

  • @Auroradream Would that be a now perk or later?

  • If our whole department goes out to eat, we don't have to come back until everyone is mostly finished so it goes beyond our normal lunch break

  • Fido Fridays! Bring your pet to work every Friday.

  • I just started my therapy internship....so I'm in a workplace again! 😎

    So far:
    Free coffee
    Free lunch every quarter
    Can play with toys when I'm bored 🪀🧩 (granted they are for play therapy kids....but still)

    And the best free thing....is that they get my work for free! LoL

  • @RedFox16 That is fantastic! Those are some lucky kids to have you helping them.

  • In the mail this week, I just got a little thank you card from my employer with a gift card for our local grocery store. One of my eldely home care clients had called in with positive feedback and thanks for my regular visits!
    When I was chosen as caregiver of the year, there was cake!! I got a free hoodie and flowers with my award too. It's pretty humble work, and especially nice to be recognized 💜

  • The best perk was the generous severance package I received upon VER.

  • @RedFox16 that sounds like a wonderful job, good for u and great for the kids!
    . oh free coffee would be likely problematic for me though lol
    I have free theme park tickets … but coffee mmm 🤣

  • Im self employed. My boss can be an asshole. He never gives me free anything. In fact usually he makes me buy lunch for all my coworkers.

  • Working remote. This summer I spent over a month in SEA and only took 3 days of PTO. (It helps that we have a house with high speed internet. I worked all night and slept all day while the in laws hung out on the deck.

  • None whatsoever.

  • A few of my employers gave out Thanksgiving turkeys.

    I don’t trust bird pimps.

  • A pay check

  • If you want to transition if you’re trans, my work offers 50k towards that

    @CuddlesWithCat Your employer is awesome to offer that.

  • Foot rubs 🥰

  • @CuddlesWithCat I'm genuinely impressed. That would actually go quite a ways even if insurance covers gender affirming care. Probably helps a lot with the six weeks off if they do surgery.

  • My employer pays me in cash and then after that, we hug for several hours!! 🤗

  • Flex hours.
    As long as we work our 8 hours
    We can come in between 7am and 8:30am and leave between 4pm to 5:30pm. And choose to take lunch or not

    examples
    7am-4pm 1 hour lunch
    7:30am-4pm 30 min lunch
    8am-4pm skip lunch

  • I work at USPS and get a 5% match for my retirement contributions. I find it fun having control of which funds I invest in and watching my savings go up.

  • We NHS employees can also get free tickets to certain comedy/sport/family events. Usually via a ballot but last year I managed to get two tickets to AEW at Wembley 😅

  • When you travel for work and then work remotely when you are not traveling, the perks vary.

    The obvious perks is I keep all points and free days on hotels, flights and car rentals.

    When I work remotely I create my own such as:

    1. Go commando Fridays
    2. Wine tasting Wednesdays
    3. Free coffee
    4. Impromptu naps
    5. Coffee with Cuddle Comfort
    6. Flash Sale shopping
    7. 420 celebrations
    8. Music Mondays
  • A working toilet. I kid u not, I feel lucky to get that. Over Christmas one yr I had to bring in my own loo roll
