If you got a paid day off last week, you’re probably still glowing from your three-day weekend. Here’s something to curb that joy a little bit.

A new survey asked companies which benefits they offer, and most of them aren’t that surprising. Like 90% have some sort of retirement plan, and 76% have free coffee. But here are the ten weirdest benefits you’re probably NOT getting . . .

 

1. 14% have on-site fitness classes, and 11% offer on-site massage therapy.

 

2. 9% have health insurance for pets, and 8% allow pets at work.

 

3. 9% pay for the mini-bar if you stay at a hotel on business, and 4% will also cover your pay-per-view bill.

 

4. 8% of companies give employees a paid day off for their BIRTHDAY.

 

5. 5% have an on-site vegetable garden at work.

 

6. 2% offer UNLIMITED paid time off, and 3% offer unlimited sick days.

 

7. 2% will help women pay to have their eggs frozen.

 

8. 2% do a take-your-PARENT-to-work day. (???)

 

9. 2% offer on-site haircuts.

 

10. 2% have a room at work that’s specifically for taking naps.
