Most jobs get some sort of small company perk! From gym memberships to free lunches. What perks do you appreciate most, and which ones seem overrated? We used to get a really good Christmas party. We went to a massive venue that put on a 3 course meal and entertainment. Work would pay travel and accommodation! What perks do you get? Do they help to motivate you?

Occasionally we get free lunches or breakfasts or coffees brought in - whatever seems to be the fancy that day. My management are very relaxed and we all get on so well as a team so they are very generous with some freebies. The same with a Christmas party it’s a free bar on the boss and we have a meal on them also.

Aww that sounds lovely. I'd have to have breakfast bought in. We do have biscuits in stock though, not quite the same.

My last employer would provide breakfast for the team twice a month. It was a small gesture but I always appreciated the effort.

Starts you up for the day aswell! Brings up the mood for everyone.

I personally really like the wellness/gym membership type perks. One of the companies I worked for offered a wellness stipend of $200/month and I used it for a gym membership and a monthly massage and it was amazing!

Ummm our perks are not directly visible but we get healthcare discounts here and there

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city. Boyfriend and I on good salary but not saving much due to the above. Before we move home to our own country, we’d love to spend a year close to Vancouver where rent is cheaper, temptation is less, to save. A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?

Just want to make sure people know this and don’t apply jobs in this shady company- it is called UniQ Biotech, in Delta, BC, Canada

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?

Round or exact numbers on banners/LPs? I was curious about this since in negotiations for example or pricing it's better to have the exact number. But if you have a case study, for example, is it better to say "Client X increased their revenue to 1,000,000 ARR" instead of "Client X increased their revenue to 987,500 ARR" ? Anyone has seen any impact on conversion rates?
