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.

1. 6, the Big Ones. The rest can be taken with flex time and/or vacation
2. 3.54 hours a week for the first 10 years, 4.something after (comes out to 23-ish days a year)
3. Everything goes into vacation time (paid time off bank), but there is flex-time (total hours allocated need to be 40 hours a week)
4. Yes, as long as I make my meetings (and there can be a lot of meetings) and deadlines
5. Somewhat (part tech, part policy, part R&D)
