Forums - General - Awesome work perks

Esmoreit on 17 February 2009

So... I'm currently downloading Call of duty 4 on my work computer, with permission from my boss so we can hold lan-parties (I have my own copy but to get one for every employee...)

I'm also busy oogling my bosses client-portfolio of (female) singers to make a presentation. Yes, I consider these awesome work-perks. Best part, I'm only a bookkepper but due to swiftness also sort of an oddjob around the office.

So, tell me, what do you consider awesome work-perks at your place of employment?

Free laptops and stuff like that. I also have a Technet sub through work and get loads of free MS software.

Not to many, but

I started (out of college) with 3 weeks of vacation, plus I can roll over like 2 weeks, so not to bad.

Lots of free lunch meetings where I get paid to work and eat at the same time. I get out at 4 on those days instead of 5. I used to be able to go weeks without ever paying for lunch, but those days are over and now it is more like 2-4 times/month

Free rather large gym in the building.

I can flex my time pretty much whenever I want.

I've also gotten a lot of free outdated PC equipment. CRTs, cases, stuff like that)

I work at a movie theater, so I get to see unlimited free movies, which IMO is one of the best perks possible. Also when the right managers are working I can get free drinks and popcorn when watching aforementioned free movies.

When I used to work at Papa John's I could eat all of the pepperoncini peppers I could stuff into my mouth! Oh yeah, and I got free pizza. Sometimes I would go out on a run delivering a pizza and my mouth would be on fire because I had eaten like 20 of those peppers. Man, those things are so damn good.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

nothing at my current job except for a tiny 5% discount. At a previous job I got free food, drinks, candy, admission to shows, tips, and sometimes he would sneak us some beers. Oh yeah and sometimes the kids who came to the shows would give us drugs. :D
