Let’s see now – quite a few, so these are not in any particularly order:

Great boss who is kind, funny, concerned and a star in her own particular field;

My boss isn't a clock watcher;

My boss and I can have a good laugh together;

She’s a sympathetic listener, too;

Job satisfaction;

(Fairly) Relaxed atmosphere;

No pressure (or not much anyway);

Pretty high-profile position within the company, with excellent status (who I work for means I get things done when they need doing, not way down the list);

Work without supervision, with a boss who trusts my judgement and will always defend me, if necessary (which is rarely!).

Free secure parking (right outside my building);

Free lunches;

Not too bad a drive to work (about 40 minutes);

No flexi time but see above re non-clock-watcher;

Extremely generous holidays;

Reasonable to good salary (with final salary pension);

My own (corner!) office;

Friendly colleagues (with the occasional troublesome one);

Freedom to plan my own work routines, alongside the usual stuff that has to be done;

Access to internet;

Good hours (9.30-5.30 or whenever I want to start up until 10.30 am and add those hours to end of the day)

And, especially given the current climate, a pretty damn’ secure job.
