Office Perks Tier List
Twelve workplace perks, ranked by what they actually change about a working week. A four-day week and a free lunch are not on the same scale, and a board that sorts them together is really asking which one you would trade for which. Every entry starts in Unranked — drag or tap a tile to fill S through F, rename any row, then export the finished board as a PNG.

How this board is built: the 12 tiles are an editorial starting set, not an official roster and not a published ranking — every entry waits in Unranked until you place it. Item tiles are original pictograms or two-letter emblems drawn for this site rather than character artwork, film stills or club logos, so nothing here is licensed material reused from a rights holder. Tiers you set are your own judgement.
What's included in this Office Perks board
The board arrives with all 12 entries present as tiles and none of them assigned to a tier. That is deliberate: a template that opens with a finished ranking only invites you to agree or disagree with whoever made it, whereas an empty ladder makes you commit to an ordering of your own. Drag a tile onto a row, or on a phone tap the tile and then the tier you want. You can add rows for extra categories, rename the standard ones, and remove any entry you do not recognise — a list you can defend is more useful than a long one you cannot.
How to rank this Office Perks board
Rank impact first: how much a perk changes your day-to-day, not how good it sounds in an offer letter. Time-based perks usually beat material ones because time is not substitutable. Then weigh usefulness — a wellness stipend you never claim is worth nothing, which makes take-up rate the real measure. Fairness is the third pass and often the most divisive, since some perks only benefit people without caring responsibilities. Preference closes the board. A useful technique is to rank as if you had to give one up: the perks you would fight to keep are the ones at the top, and that ordering tends to be far more honest than an abstract rating.
Using the board without over-thinking it
Most people finish a board like this in a couple of minutes and then reorder the middle rows for another ten. That middle is where the honest disagreement lives, so do not rush it: place the obvious top three and the obvious bottom three first, then work inward. If two entries still feel identical, that is a real observation — say so in a row note or a text tile rather than inventing a difference. When the ordering settles, export the PNG so the arrangement is saved somewhere permanent, and copy the share link if you want someone else to argue with it.

Before you share it
Put your criterion in the board title, so a reader knows whether they are looking at a favourites list or an analytical one. If the subject changes with patches, seasons or releases, add the date. And remember the share link carries tier names, colours and the tile order — uploaded photos stay on your device, so export a PNG when those matter.

Are perks a fair substitute for salary?
Rarely, and this board is not making that argument. It ranks what perks change about a working week, not what they are worth in compensation terms.
Why does a free lunch rank below flexible hours?
Because time is harder to buy back than a meal. That is the reasoning the board is testing — if your ordering differs, the criteria are worth arguing about explicitly.
