[rh71]

I'm talking about employee discounts or friends and family deals. Not asking for codes or whatnot to provide us, just curious what you (or friends and family) get as part of working where you do.

I get a free trip every year from one of our vendors. This year they are sending me and my wife to Cancun in December. Previous trips were Cancun (2001) and St. Martin (2000). I could literally go without a dime in my pocket. EVERYTHING (air/hotel/food/day trips) is paid for.

Another vendor sent me to the U.S. Open in 1996 and Orlando Florida in 2000 for a "convention". I guess convention means golf all day every day in business speak.

Other vendors give us free stuff like golf balls, hats, shirts, windbreakers, coffee cups, pens etc...

Anything that I would need for my personal use through the business I get at cost.

 

[Orsorum]

I get free housing.

 

[clamum]

I can buy things at cost but I don't have much use for industrial supply things like drills, taps, hand tools, endmills, etc.

 

[Demon-Xanth]

As many pens as you can sneak out the building!
