The main perquisite I got from the Great Slate was a fancy frequent-flyer status because of all the travel. I thought this would be cool, but there seems to be a rule in the employee handbook that all flyers with the status be greeted by name. It turned into my own personal heck.

I also noticed that what fancy frequent flyer status mainly did was raise my feelings of entitlement, so that what had been occasional perks (more legroom! upgraded seat!) became the default expectation, and their absence, which had never bothered me before, a source of vexation.

(My favorite fact about the aviation entitlement ladder is that the step up from first class travel to a private plane involves a significant drop in objective physical comfort. All those masters of the universe are shoehorned into little tiny planes that bounce around the sky)
