What constitutes your package, other that actual pay, pension, holidays and health care what other options are there?
You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.
I'm working from home today and the wife had This Morning on the telly where they were doing a piece on penis enlargement operations ("I was born with 10 inches but I wanted a monster") so thanks to Phil and Holly I now know exactly what constitutes your package, and it is not pleasant.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Car - no chance Parking place - got food - not even a vending machine for that drink - ok we have free coffee and tea (and I was thinking more individual rather than company wide, we have a pay freeze and are thinking of ways to get round it)

Food and drink are indeed company wide, but car is a very individual. I also offered phone but turned it down as the taxation is too high for one do not use phone more than twice a day... Bonuses (we didn't got nothing in last two years :(( )? Gift cards (we getting those twice a year on big holidays)?
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

You mean like stealing stationary? This week I learnt that the reason we have a turnstyle into the car park from the offices is because too many people were collecting things from stores and walking them to their car and then home.

Animals allowed in office. (Not the only place where that has been allowed: one place I worked had a bunch of dogs colleagues and there was always time to throw a ball in the orchard for at them) FIFY at least some of the places I have worked

Funny you should mention that...the same company had an annual paintball contest and barbeque in the bosses garden between the staff and the customers. It was great for getting a little pay-back for the previous year! :-D

We do, or did, have quite a comprehensive package here, some of the companies still do. Flexible working (start / end times, wfh, flexitime) Bonuses (personal performance related OR company performance related) Overtime (not me) Free gym on site Bike purchase scheme PC at home - salary sacrifice Car lease - salary sacrifice Company car (not me) Monthly lottery - salary sacrifice Health care (various options) Lifestyle benefits company membership thing Subsidised on-site nursery Child care vouchers Probably other things I've forgotten about Time off for volunteering Shell fuel card - takes advantage of corporate discount, what you spend is taken from your salary each month.

One or two of the customers, I was tempted myself! One of my great pleasures was being able to shoot a certain female customer (who knew nothing about her job) directly in the stomach from about three feet. Bruised? Oh yes...

Working right next to a nature reserve where I go for my 30 minute lunchtime daily walk. Working with a great bunch of people. Travelling against the traffic into and out of work, which only takes 20 minutes. Get to pretty much decide what and how I do what I do.

So, I use Excel to make all things equal. If something stands out I add or subtract it in order to balance. For example, if the particular position has a terrible commute, negotiate a higher salary. Same for parking expenses. If the position has free, good lunches, subtract it, etc. Then just compare cash apples to cash apples. So often in the negotiation phase I am presented with the Statement, well you have to consider our great benefits ... I did, and they were lacking. Excel is King.

Talking about our packages is non-KSS.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Now ive got your attention here's a little story, and I swear every word is true. ive been self employed for over 20 yrs now but the best package I ever had was in the mid 80's - I had a salary increase of 40%, a brand new company car, free petrol for home use as well as business, all the ex's I wanted, and my boss was a boozer who's main concern was that he'd have a drinking partner for most of the week. it was great until he messed up big time coz work wasn't getting done, so the MD put a private eye on him who followed him into a massage parlour and that night a burly guy repossessed his company car and told him not to bother going in again. This reflected badly on me and to cut a story short I didn't grass on him as he was a mate so I got sacked too lol, but after they realised *most* of the issues were of his doing felt bad about it so offered me a large ex-gratia payment and employed me on a self employed basis for about 6 month, meaning I earned more in a week than I did in a month while working there, and I walked into another job soon as I needed to - lovely I even went into one job interview (after being sacked and asked by a competitor who knew my work to see them in london) and post interview in the pub the director who recommended me pointed to his pack of john player special and asked 'did I smoke anything stronger that these'. i've always believed honesty is the best policy so told him that I did, and his reply to that was 'great, when we shut the doors at 6 o clock we all like a toke or two and I didn't want you to be shocked' - you couldn't make it up, but I didn't take the job coz of other reasons. - this was not a 2 bit company and I better not say who btw. I loved the 80's....
