Perks you have earned at work....

[Jester]

This morning my friend and coworker Jeff called me.

JEFF: "Hey, you working today?"
JESTER: "Nope."
JEFF: "Dude, how is that you never work Sundays?"
JESTER: "Seniority, pal."

Well, that and (what I didn't say because of how it could come off the wrong way) the fact that my manager absolutely loves me. But even discounting that second part, I am at the top of the seniority chart for servers at The Bar. Even now that a girl who was there forever has returned from several months of traveling, it won't affect me, because she apparently has no problem working Sundays. Also, at least during football season, RW always works Sundays. Add to that my seniority, and no, I don't work Sundays if I don't want to.

So, who else here has perks that they have earned through their work that some of their coworkers may envy to some degree? Just wondering.

In my previous position:

Monday - Thursday daylight
New hire mentoring
Acting Team Leader
Extra training
Higher tier privileges

After my promotion, keeping in mind this is a 24/7 call center:

I don't talk to customers, or much of anyone else (even though I have a phone phone instead of a headset).
Monday - Friday, 8 to 5.
Holidays off.
No clock to clock into (if I'm a minute or two late, no one knows).
No metrics to meet.
Lunch hour really is an hour and I can go when I want to.

I'm looking to transfer to a new job soon... my boss listed the above advantages and said, "Ain't many jobs like that in a call center."

Let's see...

Say whatever's on my mind to the higher-ups and not get in trouble.
Leave early if I want and still get paid for a full shift.
Knowing that $hit rolls down hill and I'm usually at the top of that hill.

At my last real job I could do whatever I wanted to do. I had free reign. Show up when I wanted to, take off whenever I wanted, work when I felt like it. I did not take advantage of it too often, as I liked the guys I worked with and did not want to be an asshole, but I made sure to rub it in the faces of the owners as much as possible.

Let's see...I get any and all "retired" computer equipment. Most of this stuff is simply outdated, and/or can be easily repaired. What can't be fixed, gets scrapped....or bashed to bits with the fence maul
