How Does Your Job Compare?
Last night I had dinner with one of the coolest people on the planet - Jonathan Dumas. I would go into detail about why he is so cool, but that would be a short novel and no one wants to read a short novel online. Anywho... Jonathan was telling me about his new internship job and I was having a little bit of job envy.
According Jonathan, this Ad Agency where he working, has free lunches cooked fresh by on-site chef's. They call out "Lunchtime" over the loud speakers and everyone goes to the cafeteria and eats. He then told me that every other Friday is "FUN FRIDAY" and they have a small party from 4-5 with all kinds of drinks and snacks and they play games and stuff.
At TI we have ice cream socials and team building parties about once a quarter. Our shifts our flexible and our benefits and pay are great, but we don't get FREE LUNCHES and a party EVERY OTHER FRIDAY!!! WOW. I am going to have to tell my boss about these Friday's.
So how does your work compare? Do they have any perqs? (And yes, this type of PERQ is spelled with a q becuase it is short for a much longer word - do you know what that word is???)

Dang. Free lunchers. I bet they have a low turnover rate.
My job is great. Depending on which route you drive in the city, you have approximately 0 minutes for lunch, 0 minutes for a bathroom break and 0 minutes to think. wow! I love my job. With this, we have learned that eating lunch is something you do as you are driving the big bus. As for going to the bathroom...We'll just leave that up to your emagination. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
I get to deal with hormonal high school kids who have sex in the bathroom during lunch or out by the bushes. At least I get summers off so that makes up for it.
my job is average. my husband's job? it rocks the casbah:
Health: medical, dental, vision, prescription – paid 100% by the Company
Holidays: all bank federal holidays, paid
Paid Time Off: 4 weeks vacation/sick days, plus the week from December 23-January 2
Retirement: 401(k) plan, employer matches dollar-per-dollar up to 5% annual salary
Bonus/Profit Sharing: Employer divides and disburses to all employees 25% of Company B’s annual profit
Raises: Annual raise approximately 5% per year
Additional: jeans/collared shirt work environment; half-days on Fridays, paid time off on birthday and work anniversary date; paid covered parking
ha it doesn't but then again i have great relationships with some amazing families and wouldn't trade the last five years for anything . . . . that said I'm on the move to find a new job so perqs might be nice
PERQ is short for perquisite
My job has no hours... whenever I want. My other job envolves my guitar and my voice and praising God. That pretty much rocks
I make my hours and I work when I want. Don't have to request days off, I just take them. I don't have to shower or get dressed all day if I don't want to. (OK, if I don't have a meeting 'cause that would just be wrong.)
I get to deal with irate parents who hate the fact that I'm holding their child accountable for crappy work.
That's my perq.
And, I love it.
