Oh sweet Jesus, absolutely! Megacorp had fleet of Gulfstream jets, including three G-Vs -- nothing, nothing, nothing compares to traveling by private jet.

Also miss assigned company cars .. new vehicle every 6 months or so -- including gas, maintenance and insurance.

But, by the end of the career, the job was unbearable, so all the perks in the world couldn't make up for that.

Wow....some of you have had some great perks. The company I work for has cut back on most perks, although you still get FF miles and most travel expenses reimbursed (they are capped based on travel location). I really don't enjoy company travel anymore due to the decline in the airline industry. Every flight is full and a flight leaving on time almost feels like the exception rather than the rule anymore.
I think it was the book, "The Number" that talked about executives realizing a decline in lifestyle once they retired. This was mainly due to not having expense accounts, country club memberships and other perks as part of their compensation package that they now have to pay for out of pocket.

Yep, I'm going to miss the free "corp" jets, too ......well, sort of......

freq flier miles
cell phone
laptop
gym subsidy
gift certificates for various things including meeting health targets, perfect attendance, and others
annual "executive" physical exam

all those perks I will lose and won't yearn for at all. I will miss social interactions with friends every day - we do have lots of fun in between all the aggravation that work brings
