Some PERQs have been rumored to have been PERQing here on this side of
the pond, and are rumored to have been created as well over here. :-)

Heh... try convincing the average personnel 'droidocrat in some large
corporation stuffed with other 'droidocrats of that... strange things
happen in those Dilbert zones [an extremely bizarre rendition of the
"Twighlight Zone" theme song is heard playing off in the distance].
Funny thing, I think I may have just greatly offended a few of them
when I sent them a bill for the time it took to complete a very long
and annoying pre-interview technical questionnaire; apparently not a
good company to work for if they got that annoyed.
My suggestion is that we all start charging for our time during the
interview process; if we all did it, the'd have no choice but to pay
us. :-) Please pass the word, demand an independent consulting type of
rate (e.g., between US$120 and US$200 per hour) for the interview
time! Perhaps if all employees demanded to be independent
contractors, we'd see lots of changes in Dilbertville.
