work perks?

Mike-Mike

anyone have anything super sweet at their work? We have a Flavia machine. Makes coffee by the cup. Makes hot tea or chocolate as well as latte's etc. It's pretty sweet and makes me really enjoy break time.

cyberguypr

We get free tickets to major sport events in the Chicago area. Totally useless for me as i'm not into sports. I rather have the Flavia.

RomBUS

Our own parking spots.

TheSuperRuski

I am getting a free phone with this new gig I am starting. Some slide,touchscreen HTC phone. I just can't text with it

I have done a deployment in a office building that had one of those Flavia machines on every floor. That hot chocolate with caramel(I think it was a mix, part 1 of 2) was delicious. That is a sweet perk lol

Repo Man

My last job had soda machines. Saved a fortune cause I'm a fiend for caffeine.

I get a check, which I'm very thankful for! And they tend to leave me alone.

Being employed. That's about it. Seventy mile commute daily, 12hr shifts and a cramped workspace. That's all I get.
