Pretty much the only paid parking is near downtown area. Everywhere else is free. I can't imagine having to pay for parking to go to work. Many of those who work in the factory come in much earlier then I so as a courtesy, I always find the further parking spaces so I can enjoy a bit of a walk before I head into the building. I hear though from those who live near the area, those who work for automotive mfg plants get to park near or far depending upon which brand of car they happen to be driving. I thought that was interesting.</p>Minimum Wage commented on 'Perks Over Money: Parking Spaces'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e200e54efca53c88342007-09-24T20:26:23Z2008-08-27T12:03:13ZMinimum WageI thought people are supposed to delay gratifaction.<p>I thought people are supposed to delay gratifaction.</p>Ryan commented on 'Perks Over Money: Parking Spaces'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e200e54ee8113288332007-09-24T14:40:26Z2008-08-30T03:07:14ZRyanWe have priority parking for management, but since our exit gate is located way in the back of our parking...<p>We have priority parking for management, but since our exit gate is located way in the back of our parking lot, and our building is right next to the building, most managers park in the back anyways for an easy exit and for the free exercise. Driving through our parking lot takes longer than walking.</p>Sheryl commented on 'Perks Over Money: Parking Spaces'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e200e54ee8017088332007-09-24T13:32:53Z2008-08-29T17:05:41ZSherylMy company has 20 parking spots close to the building for the execs, and 8 spots for the peons that...<p>My company has 20 parking spots close to the building for the execs, and 8 spots for the peons that are handed out on a monthly rotating basis. We end up with "priority" parking once a year for a month. I've been lucky to have it during the winter for the past few years. I don't mind walking to my car when it's nice out.</p>rdub98 commented on 'Perks Over Money: Parking Spaces'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e200e54ee7fe8a88332007-09-24T13:19:34Z2008-08-29T21:09:51Zrdub98I worked for a company that provided a certain amount toward monthly parking, but it wasn't enough to cover the...<p>I worked for a company that provided a certain amount toward monthly parking, but it wasn't enough to cover the entire fee. I calculated it out and it was cheaper to take the bus into downtown from where I lived, so I just used public transportation.</p>Ed commented on 'Perks Over Money: Parking Spaces'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e200e54ee7f13188332007-09-24T11:58:23Z2007-09-24T11:58:23ZEdI am lucky enough to have to fork over 94.45 on a monthly basis to park.

Who am I kidding.... it still hurts.</p>plonkee commented on 'Perks Over Money: Parking Spaces'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e200e54efc5f1688342007-09-24T11:02:16Z2007-09-24T11:02:16Zplonkeehttp://www.plonkee.comThe only parking available at my city centre office is for senior management, pool cars, and car sharers.

But since we have good public transport, it isn't too much of an issue.</p>KCLau commented on 'Perks Over Money: Parking Spaces'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e200e54efc5e5188342007-09-24T10:47:04Z2008-08-29T00:35:42ZKCLauhttp://kclau.comI parked my car in my house most of the time.

I think that's the benefit of being self-employed.</p>
