Thank you, but it was an accidental haggle. I hadn't planned to buy a sofa so was doing the 'go away to think about it' thing for real, but then they told me they would knock that much off. And I didn't need to think any more :rotfl:

Great food wombles Siebrie. Do you have the chair massage at work, in your lunch break? What are the benefits to you?

The chair massage is a work perk, once a month, 20 minutes during office hours, paid by the employer

It's a husband and wife team, they give 30 minutes 'posture' training in the morning (also paid by employer, during working hours) and then give massages all day in two of the meeting rooms. I always choose the husband (most female colleagues choose the wife) and we have a nice chat while he does the massage. He's usually loosening the muscles in my shoulders, neck, and upper arms, but if I ask him, he can also do foot or leg massage.

Siebrie,

Those massages and the posture training are really great perks to have. Lucky you

I was just lucky to end up at this company, I didn't search them out or anything. When I moved to Brussels 10 years ago I needed a job, and the interim agency sent me here, to interview for a position I didn't even want (there were 3 vacancies, 2 of which I was interested in, they sent me for the 3rd ). I got offered a permanent position on the spot, accepted it (I needed a job, remember, my savings were 0 at that point and I had a studio to fill) and not until later found out that they are listed in the top 3 of best companies to work for worldwide. Can I say that I wombled this job ?
