So come on guys, what freebies have you gotten working for a company.

Mine so far is just a full set of PPE gear which is aprox 2-300 quid.

And just now a waterproof jacket which is another 100.

Working in a bar before this job and as a bonus we got a crate of beer each :D

So who has been given the best freebies.

Got about 20 classy bottle of wine at xmas from supliers!

Work took all my team out for a bonus meal.

This month got a £150 share of proffits and a 4% salary bonus :)
 
Free 3 course dinner every day, top notch stuff too, not your usual canteen rubbish.

Also, anything that will fit in my pocket that isnt nailed down and anything that is nailed down... including the nails.

Personal Protective equipment, although surely thats because you need it for your job rather than a freebie?

Thats right, but not two sets of it, flirting with the secratary is the way forward.

the second set is being sold for beer to a mate of mine who is a comercial diver.


Bonuses and pay rises don't count :)

You do no thats probably againts your company's policy and is an arrestable offence?

Anyway, things I get is usually goodies bought from my manager. 8gb usb pens, t-shirts, hats, bluetooth dongles, new hard drives, dvd writters e.t.c. Just the usual IT goodies really.
 
In my current job: Any Microsoft software I want :D

Previous Job: I got free stuff from Intel, AMD, ATi & Nvidia all the time, things like USB Pen Drives, Fleece Tops, Alarm Clocks, Watchs, Pens, Mugs etc. You have to love sales training reps :p

From my last job I got the usual day out stuff, rock climbing, meals, booze etc.

Not exactly free but I get 50% off all products with my current company. :)

I'll think you'll find my company policy encourages theft.
 
As a rule any freebies from our suppliers have to be put in the Christmas raffle pot. Can you imagine how tedious the Xmas party is when there's 200 bottles of wine and other assorted stuff to raffle off!

The only freebie I've got to keep was a pack of freeze-dried strawberries from NTL the other week..they were disgusting. My boss got the freeze-dried neopolitan ice-cream and that was no better :(
