Working conditions

[dsrtao]

Inspired by a post from cvirtue, let's find out from them that work for others:

How many companywide holidays do you get?
How many vacation days?
Does your company actually (not "officially") count sick days and/or personal days?
Can you telecommute? How much? What enforces that?
Do you work for what you would consider a technology company?

My answers:

1. 10 holidays, all set by the stock market.
   
2. 15 vacation days/year
   
3. No, but people would notice if I didn't do my job.
   
4. Yes, as much as I want to but not all the time; it's an unspoken social contract, plus the fact that our disaster recovery policy states that all employees must be able to telecommute.
   
5. Yes.

When I worked for Intel, we got:
12 Holidays
15 Paid Vac days, but not accounted for except informally, because the tracking cost as much as the vacation days.
We used to get up to 15 days for child care, but sick days were counted if you went over a week at once.
Telecommuting: with approval from boss, two days a week, but generally disapproved of in certain departments. BC/DR required ability to Telework.

Yes, it was a tech company...
