Gotta love work perks!
DH's company has raffles for free tickets to sporting events. We just won tickets to a DC United (soccer) game! 
What perks do you guys have a work?

Re: Gotta love work perks!
My company used to be fantastic with things, not perks, but they treated us really well, and they took us away on trips, overnight at the fanciest hotels...but not so much these days. In December for our Christmas Party they took us to a beautiful hotel in the Cotswolds...we had no idea where we were going, it was a mystery trip.
The company I worked for previously used to take us on trips, we went to Paris to see Madonna, and they gave us a weekend away in Dublin also.
Not so much these days with the Economy...enjoy the soccer!!!

well, since they announced that we are all at risk for being laid off, we haven't had any Friday Fun! Its a shame, because it was good fun. Its been a while though...I might suggest it before we all lose our jobs on June 15th...

Re: Gotta love work perks!
I have the season tickets and I sell them to co-workers. Get this, if I post them internally I can only ask face.
I have a job, I have a job, I have a job...my mantra.

They are not hiring, sadly (sorry to you, too, Jennie Jennie)
I work for an Aussie skin care company - hence the products and the crazy amount of vacation time!

I work in a library. We get to take books out for free.
Nothing fun, but my job's very flexible with taking time off & then just making up without using sick or vaca time...it's come in handy more than once!!

My company offers stork parking to expectant mothers. It's a perk for me since I'm pregnant.
But there are some people who feel that preggos shouldn't have the privilege of parking closer, especially in the pouring rain, and these people park in stork parking whenever they feel like it, even though they don't have a pass to do so. But I digress...
Oh, and I can still get on LIF at work, even though most other sites are blocked!

Re: Gotta love work perks!
Our company buys us lunch every Wednesday. I bring my dog in whenever I want, although usually I only bring him in on Friday. He's with me today, because I felt like it.
At my old job, my boss would get free tickets to stuff and pass them along sometimes. I got to go to the US Open a few years ago, for free. Great seats too.
Some guys I worked with got taken out to lunches and dinners all the time, go golfing, etc. for free.
