I never bought into that kind of "hierarchal" nonsense in the workplace. If someone does well, they get to come back tomorrow and maybe even get a raise. If they don't they get schit-canned. Pretty simple.

A company I used to work for used to do all that "perk" stuff. . . So-and-so gets to have a cubicle closer to the windows, so-and-so gets to have a corner office, so-and-so gets the newest computer, etc. I never understood it. It's largely a bunch of crap, IMO. Basically tools used by insecure managers to attempt to motivate people without paying them any extra. Employees aren't stupid either - they know that's what's really going on. Parking is first-come, first-served at my office - the way it should be. You're the first guy there and want to park by the door? Fine - knock yourself out.

Personally, I always park AWAY from the entrance - even if I am the first guy there. The fewer people that park near (and walk by) my car is less chance of some idiot door-dinging it or brushing against it and scratching it with something, dropping something on it, etc. I park it off to the side where nobody else parks and I can see it from my desk.
