Perks Where Ya Werks

[La Chat Noire]

I get paid holidays off...that's good enough for me right now.

I manage a hotel so I get free or deeply discounted (usually 80-100% off) rooms at any Hilton brand hotel in the country and first dibs on any lost & found items that go unclaimed for 90 days or more. There's not a whole lot of cool stuff left and then forgotten at hotels though, a TON of cell phone chargers, lots of miscellaneous clothing, books and a suprising amount of sex toys, but every once and a while there will be something cool... Someone left a 16gb Ipod about a month ago that hasn't been reclaimed yet and one time some dude left a CD binder with probably 100 CDs in it. I took probably 20-30 that I ddin't have and actually wanted then let my employees pick through the rest. We ended up tossing about 20 of them though because no one wanted them, even for free. Another perk is hiring and firing people. I like to be the one making the decision on who we hire and while I don't especially enjoy firing people, sometimes it can be quite satisfying if the person is a slacker that's been warned or a total prick. Little known fact about hotel industry workers that get fired.... Probably 75% start crying and plead for their job. Kinda pathetic.

I cut hair so free hair cuts for me. Some times free product too. And free advice from my clients...

You know what they say about advice- it costs nothing and it's worth the price!

You come off as a fucking evil prick in this...

This is one of the reasons we love you :)


Oh, and good call on Obama. I hadn't had a chance to congratulation you on that yet,

I'm a Nurse's Aid

I take as many smoke breaks as I want nobody really cares

I only work 2 days a week and get paid for 32 hrs full time ( sat & sunday) 12 hr shifts 6 30 p-6 30 a

So that's a pretty kick ass perk to me

AND I never have to see any department heads because they only work day shift during the week.

I get free haircuts too, but that is because I like it short, so 5 minutes in a chair with my wife and some clippers :D

[The Flayed One]

Most of you know where I work, but for those of you who don't, I work for Amazon.

I get completely free public transportation and discounts on products. They also have drawings at work every month for $50 gift cards. Other than that, unlimited free coffee and my bosses by me a few drinks and dinners every month for being good at what I do.

I will tell you this, our company picnics are quite the extravaganza. Flayed + unlimited free beer = ....well, I let your imagination do the work.

Oh that came through? I even tried to disguise that fact by saying I didn't enjoy firing people. :D

Thank you! I'm sure the 'bwind bump' was what tipped the scales. ;) Seriousy though, I'm excited about where we're headed as a country at this point. I even suspect a lot of the haters will come around once he starts making some changes.

Night shift at a dumpy Days Inn doesn't really have perks except no one wants to stay. So since it's slow I get most of the night to goof off, teach myself german, learn card magic.

I suppose it's not all bad.
