“Unbelievable But True: 67 Outrageous Work Perks That Left Employees Speechless!”
Employee discounts for products. They’re always out of stock and most are only available to ship to the USA. We live in Poland.
So, i work at a nursing home. we aren’t allowed to accept gifts from the residents (which im completely fine with) but they have it practically posted everywhere for the residents to donate to the workers for our holiday bonus..which gets taxed..and most higher ups don’t interact with the residents let alone the employees actually working.
My job just sent me a congratulatory pdf for my 5-year anniversary.
All of our Staff got Vouchers for local Supermarkets, the sum was 40€, well it was Christmas, and I am not complaining, it was a present after all. Problem was that the Vouchers were empty, someone forgot to charge them…I found out, while beeing at the cash register, with a lot of people behind me.
Company I worked for made a big song and dance about how we were being given health insurance, we only had to pay about £20 a month in taxes (or contribution I forget how it worked) for the benefit. You may have noticed the flaw in their logic based on the currency symbol I used. Yep, this was in the UK, I am already paying for my nationalised healthcare through tax, private healthcare does not intrest me in any way and actually having to pay for it would be a f*****g joke (especially considering it was more than my contribution in tax for healthcare!). They were shocked when I signed out of it and didn’t blindly accept it and pay for it like all the other employees.
I look at job offers with clients regularly and some keep saying “free drinks” and “regular meetings with bosses”.
I once worked grueling nights at an airport freight hub. The company had started an ‘incentive pay’ yearly bonus the previous year. But this year the numbers were down, so the bonus was reduced. I got seventeen cents.
My org gave out benchmark service awards. Usually they’re trophy glass with a name and length of service. When I hit 5 years, they gave me an org branded plastic travel mug – the same mugs we give out as promos to people at events.
It was presented to me in a paper bag. All dolled up with decorative paper. The bag was worth more than my award.
There were clear plastic garbage bins outside the venue the party took place at. I threw my mug in there. Everyone who attended, including the CEO who presented it to me, had to look at it on the way out of the venue. .
