I work 9/80's, so I get every other Friday off. Works out to over 20 extra days off a year. Many weeks I can parlay into long weekends.

I work from home most Mondays and Friday afternoons. I have a big salary and solid bonuses and stock given to me. With any luck, I'm quitting the job this week. 
Salary-plus compensation
Excellent catered lunches several times a month
Company paid for most of my ME Degree
Occasional international travel ( last time I basically got an all expenses paid 5 day vacation to Amsterdam and only had to do about a half day of actual work while there )
Boss is laid back and at a Director level so he's only even here a handful of days a month
Nice office with nice view
375 foot tall extrusion tower offers the best views in the entire state on nice days like today, and its only an elevator ride away
Come and go as I please as long as I'm not ridiculous about it

I'm a sales manager at a Nissan dealership and even I don't get all that free stuff, damn. Except the Warriors courtside tickets the owner gave me for Christmas. I do hope I get to go to the GTR ride and drive when the new one comes out though, if they have one. The labor discounts are great though. We have a Ford dealership in the auto group so I only have to pay $80 an hour and they will install any aftermarket stuff provided by me. And some of the parts I can actually get for cheaper than any online price, like my GT500 steering wheel for example. I picked it up for like $180
My director doesn't know I exist. So my counterpart and I are pretty much free to run things as we see fit. We can come and go as we please throughout the day as long as the work gets done. Although I'm sure that'll become more limited once I get a couple pieces of equipment. It'll be nice not to be working on my post count though. And scientists are surprisingly hot.
I'm a calibration analyst for a biomedical company.

We don't have a Ford dealer in our auto group which is a shame, I did work for a ford dealer last year but I hated it there and didn't trust any of the technicians to do any work on my car so I ended up doing jobs myself, but the parts discount was decent. We got my wifes car from my current job and have used my company discount several times for repairs and parts though. I'm highly considering a CJDR product as my next vehicle since we do have one of those in our group and its directly across the street from me lol. One perk I left out we have a lot we own right next to the panthers stadium in uptown and every home game they tailgate there. So we get to go for free and they have a trailer with TVs playing the game, grilling ribs, burgers, hot dogs, sides you name it. Thats a lot of fun
Work 60 days on 30 days off (still get paid while I'm off)
Paid Travel too and from work site (work at various shitty places around the globe)
Meet and train interesting people from various cultures
Fly in various types of aircraft while training aerial gunnery and other tasks
Meet uppity ups and keep them safe
Great pay and benefits (free medical, free dental, etc.)
Education reimbursement. (Company basically paid me to complete my MBA, which I don't even use, lol.)

"Excuse me, what is an uppity up?"
Folks that are "important", " very wealthy" or some that treat us underlings like trash, lol. Not all are in those categories, but several are.
LOL, Ok. We call them Big Shots or Executives around here. With an MBA and a nice gig, I wouldn't call you an underling though.
I've made it through the negotiating stage with my soon to be new job. Best perk is a $45k raise.
Maybe someday I'll be an uppity up.
