Most Useless employee discount

[likesfish]

through the civil servant lifestyle website
I can get £47000 off BMW i8!
So it would be only £800 a month So if I did 40 hours a month for the next 3 years I could afford it.

What's the most Useless discount you've been offered

 

[andysays]

When I read the thread title, I immediately thought likesfish had been offered money off some product or service for being voted "most useless employee" at his place of work

a bmw i8 is 114 grand

I'm sorry maybe my math is odd

but if they offering you a car worth 114 grand for £25600

thats not that useless a discount

It's always for stuff I don't want or need which are already a ripoff anyway like 10% off a £250 Fortnum and Mason hamper etc. Er, no.

My mate ran the Oddbins website and he is teetotal, not complaining though as we got a lot of the free booze!

I got very excited that my current job has a membership discount that applies to my local swimming pool. But only if you have a full gym membership and with the discount it's still more expensive than a normal swimming membership.

Is this one of the warders smuggling in knives? As a member of the public supposedly being protected by locking miscreants away, I am not reassured by this statement.

Apprantly the idiot behind that is about to be caught.
An officer up in London got caught with £40grand worth of drugs phones and an X box one.
You only need a couple of corrupt officers not only is it illegal destroys the prison regime it spreads fear and misery in the community daddy's spice habit has to paid for some how and they don't take no for an answer .
But hey a couple of extra grand a month or You could do 5 bedwatches ffs

What's the resale value on one with zero mileage? Borrow some money and make 20-30 grand surely

You have got to be kidding, the value of a new vehicle drops dramatically the minute it leaves the showroom. I think people are seriously misunderstanding the way the car market works and resale value.

Probably not that easy to get a 60k car loan if you earn 26k a year

40 hours a month sounds alright IMO.

What you do is put down a deposit on the car to get a place in the queue for delivery. Then you sell that place for the deposit and a premium. Obviously it only works well when the car has a long delivery time, and is very highly desirable.
