What's your "Perks of the job"?
- Thread starter SHOdown220
- Start date
My wife has some good ones including paid travel for your immediate family on all work trips. She works at an industrial supply warehouse and gets everything at cost. It is like having my own home improvement store at cost.
I get a lot of supplier discounts especially with auto manufacturers, work from home, free phone, free lunch at the office...

Dude you get to test out the latest Ford has to offer and let us know yay or neh
I get a paycheck if I show up. Work at least 40-60hrs a week in the office then
On call 24/7 365. Work for two companies with locations across Kansas and Colorado. Sometimes I'll have to drive to a site to fix a problem at a moments notice. Some sites are 9+hrs away by car.
No vacation, not many holidays (none paid). Keeps me busy, can't complain too much as I'm usually "off" on weekends aside from calls.

I suppose I could add that I am given an exorbitant number of sick days and personal days. They carry over too. Which means I keep them if I don't use them. To date: I have 275 sick days and 5 personal days on the books. I can sell them back when I retire or just take them and work nil for three years..
Company car and gas, unlimited personal use, and my wife has the OK from the company to drive it, and use the gas card, too. Benefits, retirement, all through the roof. Great pay. Unmatched training in one of three places: North Carolina, Germany or Shanghai, China. It's a toss up as to which place you will be sent, but training usually happens twice a year, and it will be in one of those three places. And you can bring your spouse! Unlimited overtime, all I can handle and they never complain, don't even bat an eye. Their only question is: How much more overtime are you willing to do? And once you are in, they almost never fire or lay off anyone.
Downside: Never ending overtime. Forget anything like a regularly scheduled work time. And their only question is: How much more overtime are you willing to do? But, pretty much, that's a feature in any of the medical repair gigs.

I sleep with the bookkeeper.
I fired me today, but I couldn't find anyone else to work for what I pay. I had to beg myself to come back to work.

Mr Snover reminded me of a few in addition to these.
Wife is authorized to drive my work vehicle. I get a new vehicle every 65000 miles. A few FSEs are chosen each year for a company paid trip to the President’s Club in Mexico. Any training we have is in Southern California. Lots of OT available so lots of money to be made.
Repairing medical equipment is a good field.

When subordinates do something that makes me angry I can make them do dumb shit. Like clean the Motorpool in the rain with the mop of shame (10" BBQ mop).

My last day at my now-previous job was Friday. The biggest perks there (until they lost their soul to bureaucracy) were using the shop after hours for personal projects, and the ability to dumpster-dive for expensive materials that were thrown away. In 2017 I nabbed enough scrap diamond plate to line all of the trim in our garages at home. They also used to let employees purchase items from existing vendors with a massive discount, but that got scrapped when managers of manager management managers decided to axe it. The company exploded in size in 2015 and the place became a paper-pushing bean-counting mess and all of the perks went away.
My new job starts tomorrow. The biggest perk is that I negotiated being able to work from home 4 days a week to keep my stress levels down.

Ya got me.
One of the many perks of owning your own business.
Some others for me are, I only work as much as I want. Take vacation whenever I want for as long as I want. Almost entirely stress free.
We do. Phone controlled vibrators are fun.
