Most underwhelming work perk

used to have this in that London. we had to sign a form every time we wanted the key stating that we would not let any non-employees in with us.

Discounted rates at Fred Olsen Cruises.

Also get mates rates at the bloke upstairs’ wholesale butcher business.

If you’ve been at my workplace for 5 years+, you get a ham hock for Christmas.

In which case fair enough.

Do you get to personalise your funeral plan or do they just give you an off the peg one?
