Employees share the most cringeworthy benefits they’ve ever been offered at work: 'It's a benefit just to work here'

When you're deep in the job search trenches, the whole process starts to feel like a never-ending cycle of résumé tweaks, awkward video calls, and praying for a salary that's at least as good as your old job. By the time you're in that final interview, you just want the job (and a paycheck that lets you afford iced coffee without guilt). Benefits are probably just an afterthought. But sometimes they can actually make or break the whole gig.

Maybe you've got a medical condition and need solid health insurance. Or maybe you're a world traveler who lives for PTO. Those are real benefits, the ones that actually impact your life. But somehow, employers keep trying to pass off the most cringeworthy "perks" as if they're doing you a huge favor.

Like… a pizza party? Seriously? Has that ever worked on anyone above the age of 12? Employers love tossing in these hollow little perks, hoping we'll magically forget about the low pay or the lack of healthcare.
