hmmmm my job?.. really?.. no perks :D:D

I remember getting the chance to do a bit of CP work at Erotica a couple of years ago - that was followed by working the UK Porn Awards when we had it Hammersmith Palais!

I thought the show was good, the aftershow was . . . . . . . Interesting!

I remeber getting dragged to one of thsoe shows… they weren’t that bad. Mind you i never went to the after show:blush:

Yep Pharms are traditionally non-cyclical, so you are lucky

I was just wondering, if anyone else had perks in their jobs?I love my job, there are times it gets really stressfully, but i couldn’t imagen doing anything else. I work in the Pharmaceutical indrusty which i do project managing and validation.

This means i write and test protocls for new machine process etc within my company. So this includes going to manufactures site and tesing equipment, which means i get to travel anywere. And on top of that, the supplier normally give me goodies (usb sticks, pen knifes, pen light etc) as well as taking us out while testing the mahcines, and showing us round town while eating and drinking what ever we want. This will be the case when i go Germany in a few weeks.

Haven’t got a company car or a company credit card yet, as i am not yet a manager. However, does anyone esle have great perks in their jobs?

be interesting to know which company you work for any chance its GSK !!my jobs perks are i only work 75 days a year and i havnt paid for petrol since 2003 plus get paid **** loads

No actually, we were brough out by a extremly large American company, but still brand our products with our Licence name. We do no biotech, or research. There is a GSK near me!We supply many products… to many GP’s, hositpals and well know known shops…

i thought there might be a ruff conection if you worked at gsk as my boss who i am head of personal sucurity for bought out gsk a while ago

I only work part time but still get 15% discount (at sports world ) Shame I don’t like anything in there really. Only thing I’ve ever bought from there is trainers.

My dad however works at a bike dealership as one of the mechanics - and the guy who runs it lets me use my dads staff discount for everything. I get parts cheap if I need them and don’t pay service charges, oh and I get bikes dirt cheap aswell apparently
All that and I don’t even do the job

Yep Pharms are traditionally non-cyclical, so you are lucky

Afraid they are - drugs are normally granted a 10 year patent so after the 10 years you have make your “ingredients” available to the public and the price generally drops by 90%Thats how ASDA or other generics can sell paracetamol for 16p when anadin branded products costs £2 or £3. ASDA havent paid for any or the research or testing (but have waited 10 yrs).The idea is for pharma companies to have a drug pipeline so when a patent ends and values drop then another drug comes into production to fill the gap. If they cant do this then there are normally massive job cuts.I also work for a pharma/healthcare company

My shift system means i do 2 days then 2 nights then have 4 days off so i work half the year, but then you add to that 21 days annual leave, 4 days ACAS leave, 4 days extra annual leave, 4 days long service leave and 8 days public holidays it ends up quite a perk!:D:P:D

[Joolz]

I get paid to eat.
