No matter how far a person can go the horizon is still way beyond you.
1. Have
you lost the ability to make a distinction between a true social life
with friends and family and a social life based on business
entertaining?
2. Do
you enjoy a higher standard of living when you are doing business for
the company than you do in your regular life and have you come to count
on it?
3. Do
the perks of your business make you feel as though you “own the place”
even though in reality you have seen other equally “indispensable”
people let go with less than a week’s notice?
4. Do
the perks of your occupation have more appeal than the occupation
itself?
5. Does
the thought of giving up company perks -– car, expense account, etc. --
fill you with dread?
6.
Do you feel like more of a personal because
of your expense account?
7. Do
the special privileges your company offers -- gym privileges, meal
privileges, club memberships -- make you feel as though you are also
“special”?
8. Do
you ever feel yourself becoming condescending toward friends whose jobs
don’t let them eat where you eat, go where you go, drive the car you
drive?
9. Does
your expense account, in some way, interfere with your relationship with
your spouse?
10.
Has your need for perks ever caused you to
do something you regretted or kept you stuck in a situation for too
long?
