What’s a perk of your job you enjoy?

For me, it’s getting to see unlimited movies at the cinema (where I work). Me and a +1.

@tallpowerhouseblonde Yes working from home too
tallpowerhouseblonde · 31-35, F
@Ethannuel Me neither.

@Mistakesmakeus If only I was on there.Easy money when guys pay to look at photos.
Only working 10 months of the year. (July and August off)

2 weeks off at Christmas.

A week off in March.
Ethannuel · 22-25, M
@submissivelittlewoman That’s a serious perk! I wouldn’t know what to do with all that time.
@Ethannuel summers are spent by the pool or at the cottage.

March - travel to a sunny destination.

Christmas - enjoy time with family
Ethannuel · 22-25, M
@submissivelittlewoman Sounds like an excellent use of your time!
ShadowWolf · 31-35, M
Work from home. Best perk ever.
ShadowWolf · 31-35, M
@Ethannuel Yes! And other companies need to realize the world has changed, and they do not need a good percentage of people on site. For many jobs, especially white collar jobs, it's pointless aside from team building exercises. Remote work is the future! I also get very generous paid time off and paid holidays. 5 weeks of vacation a year, etc.
Ethannuel · 22-25, M
@ShadowWolf Sounds like it’d be more sustainable too (i.e. less travel, smaller carbon footprint, less single use etc.).

Crazy how it took a pandemic to make us realise the benefits!
ShadowWolf · 31-35, M
@Ethannuel Also more productive time! Less time commuting means more time working! No chance of an employee not making it due to car issues, and also employers save money by not having to have as big a office space/owned leased. It's a win all around. Some employers just need to get out of the dark ages.
Free stuff that’s gets damaged out. Like I got 6 bags of free cat litter because the boxes were broken.
Ethannuel · 22-25, M
@MorbidCynic Nice! Sounds useful.

All we got is popcorn and pick ‘n mix. I’m sick of that stuff!
CountScrofula · 41-45, M
I can take a full year off with pay to write a book or go to college
Ethannuel · 22-25, M
@CountScrofula Woah. How’d you get that deal!
CountScrofula · 41-45, M
@Ethannuel We got a REAL good union. Also unlimited paid sick days
SW-User
I get free toilet paper and trash bags when the boss isn’t looking
Ethannuel · 22-25, M
@SW-User Sneaky! A win’s a win though, right.
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
Since I'm the boss people have to kiss my ass.. i get to expense chap stick
Jeephikelove · 46-50, F
I get paid mileage and I meet such interesting people, some scary.
Ethannuel · 22-25, M
@Jeephikelove Scary? Interesting. Scary how, if you don’t mind me asking?
RebelHeart · 36-40, F
Ah... I'm so jealous! I've always wanted to work in a cinema 🍿
Ethannuel · 22-25, M
@RebelHeart Defintely go see it. It’s a movie that benefits from being seen at the cinema.

I have seen the new Jurassic Park. It looks good, but it’s a bit wooden. Jeff Goldblum is back though, so that’s always cool!
RebelHeart · 36-40, F
@Ethannuel ok, I'll definitely try and see maverick then. I was worried it was gonna be a bit cheesy but you must be an expert so I'll take your word for it!

I'm going to see jurassic park tomorrow. I didn't really like the last one but the first jurassic parks is one of my favourites. Jeff goldblum is a legend!
Ethannuel · 22-25, M
@RebelHeart It’s a little cheesy, but the right side of cheesy. Hardly an expert, though!

A lot of the original cast are in the new one, so you’ll probably feel nostalgic.
DCarey · 46-50, M
A free harem
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
@DCarey no free pet spaying and neutering ? Lol
DCarey · 46-50, M
@AthrillatheHunt That was their other offer.
MrSmooTh · 31-35, M
Summers off
Sazzio · 31-35, M
Company phone unlimited data. But at work only cannot take it home the phone. Get to drive company car when patrolling..

I work in Security gatehouse.
Maybe not a perk, but a great crew to spend the day with. Light hearted, easy going. Makes it a pleasure to get up in the morning.
Ethannuel · 22-25, M
@SethGreene531 The people you work with make all the difference. I certainly wouldn’t stick around if my team weren’t so chill.
zerofuks2give · 41-45, M
I literally only work 5 months a year and I get overtime every day
Ethannuel · 22-25, M
@zerofuks2give I’m intrigued what it is you do now. Would that be prying!?
zerofuks2give · 41-45, M
@Ethannuel I work in manufacturing now, making fiber optic cable. I work 4 days then I’m off 4, 12 hour shifts.

Fluffybull · F
Being with animals all day 🐶😺🐹🐭🐰🐇🐈🐈‍⬛🐩🦮🐕‍🦺🐟🐠🦜
Ethannuel · 22-25, M
@Fluffybull That would be a lot of fun! You’re a vet?
Fluffybull · F
@Ethannuel No, I'm a self-employed dog-walker/pet-sitter ☺️
Ethannuel · 22-25, M
@Fluffybull Cool! I imagine that’s a very chill job and keeps you fit
MarineBob · 56-60, M
all company credit card rewards are mine
Ethannuel · 22-25, M
@MarineBob That’s dead handy!
SailorMarz · F
Pto
Free meals
Insurance


That's about it
Ethannuel · 22-25, M
@SailorMarz Hey that’s still pretty good, no?
My employer provided work truck, is my biggest perk.
Thevy29 · 41-45, M
I get to spend the day looking after some wonderful people.
JimboSaturn · 51-55, M
Good benefits. A gym and subsidized cafeteria

@caccoon Sounds a dream! So you make money doing what you love?
caccoon · 36-40
@Ethannuel I do! Not loads, mind you. But I don't care. I'm happy with my work, I can find ways to increase income
Human1000 · M
I get a bonus for not taking vacation
Ethannuel · 22-25, M
@Human1000 So you don’t take vacation them? Not sure I could do that.
JimboSaturn · 51-55, M
@Human1000 I can carry over two weeks if not I lose it. They dont give us cash for unused vacation
Human1000 · M
@Ethannuel I have a family to support and a mortgage and so need the extra money. My boss forced me to take 2 days off, lol
