So, not an official benefit, but does anyone else's boss occasionally throw a little perk your way? My CEO lets me and my friends borrow his condo on the Lake of the Ozarks from time to time.

Wish we had a perk like that at my company. We are a bare bones, small, family owned business. Not many perks which is ok. They pay competitively and treat us well so I'm grateful for that. They do throw a nice summer cookout every year at a local country club for staff and their families which is always a nice time.

Wow! We only get baseball or hockey tickets our boss doesn’t want to use himself lol. Usually an hour or two before the game they will try to see if someone wants the tickets. They are nice seats and all but two hours notice is often not enough. Plus, our boss only offers up tickets to weeknight games and never for any of the rivalry games. But I did get to go to bobble head lat year.

We sometimes get free lunch . But I did get one super amazing perk. We were moving office buildings a few years ago and I took on setting up renovations to the new building, hiring and coordinating the moving team, I took on most of the packing and setting up the new building once everything was moved. So, as I a thank you my boss funded my travel expenses and a suite in Las Vegas during my pre planed girls trip.

How fun! That’s a great perk, and doesn’t break his bank. Often, budgets don’t allow for bonuses, or non-appropriated funds.
Definitely a plus for both sides!!

My best perk is I got a kitten from a past boss! She had a bunch and needed to rehome, and she paid for the shots and neutering.

Changes in the healthplans are going to drive me to spend hundreds in out of pocket early on and I'll meet my deductible whether high or low. Any advice on how to choose a policy?

Do you all feel that the Health Insurance choice is actually all the same? The coverage is absolutely copy and paste for Bronze to Platinum and the deductible/copay is very similar.
I just don’t understand why we have the illusion of “choice” if the offer is the same and it is really bad (in our case).
Going from $61 per paycheck for 2.5k deductible 75% copay to $500+ per paycheck with 500 deductible 85% copay.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
