A Mumsnet post prompted this.
What has been your best work perk?
I've had a few.
*Free photocopying.
* Access to Cambridge University Library (was WONDERFUL!).
* Free Wifi.
* Free access to on site swimming pool.
* When working in an admin role, free lunches (and dinner if working late).
* In a job in the USA many years ago, there was a free drinks machine. Juice, water, fizzy drinks.
* One of the schools I worked in, once a year the parents would put on a banquet for the staff on Teachers Day. And it was incredible!
* Annual Christmas party at another school. A full on event, at a different incredible location every year, with a multi course meal and entertainment.
But I guess the biggest have been free accommodation and meals. They DID have their downside. The accommodation was in school and therefore reduced privacy and no real sense of being 'away' from work. But totally cost free. With the meals, they are never totally free because a lot of the time the food is not good, and I end up buying my own. But again, a huge saving cost wise.
Have any of you got all electric cars? Pros and cons please.
