words separately, I think that you will begin to understand.
1). John [jon] noun: a toilet or bathroom (slang).
2). Perks [purks] noun: an extra inducement, benefit, or award (slang).
So you see, John Perks is not a person. It is a benefit program of sorts that may not be spelled out in a worker's contract or hiring agreement. It is more of a tacit award for rank in the corporate food chain. The deal that I have noticed after painstaking research and more than casual observation is that the higher folks are on the corporate ladder, the nicer their bathroom facilities are and the more often they are cleaned. Here is a list of my findings.
