   Oh I don't know... My "pension" is fully funded by my employer, as is my   
   health insurance. I get a "company vehicle" for personal use if I want,   
   as well as personal use of the company IT facilities. There's a   
   "profit-sharing" plan in place, too. And he does all this even though he   
   can't deduct it from the company taxes, because I'm his most valued   
   employee. Job security is as good as the strength of the company.   
      
   I know all this because he's said more than once, "I'm the LAST guy I'm   
   going to fire."
