hautemude,
In the current economic climate, I'm happy to have a good job with a good company and I don't even consider staff travel benefits in the equation. It was a comment from senior management to the effect that "employees with children will be given priority on requests for leave during school holiday periods" that reminded me that employees who are married/attached/parents receive more benefits than I do. In passing, it occurs to me that I feel a bit of prejudice. Incidentally, I'm happy to avoid school holiday periods.
