I have heard many things I'm not supposed to know from the rumour mill that kitchen/support staff is apparently a part of. They're not always entirely correct, but they are always at least correct enough that I can find out things I normally cannot find out. Of course there are also the not directly career benefits such as having better/nicer food and a more pleasurable time at work.
