Ask HN: Which startups have flexible vacations policy?
Meaning that vacations are not tracked but also not guaranteed. I'm not judging whether that is good or bad, but just want to understand how many startups are practicing this new approach. We have always had unlimited vacations at NewsCred and have never had anyone abuse it. We are approx 20 people now. People love it. May I ask you what is an average vacation time per year in your company? Honestly I don't know. I would guess it's slightly under the average at most companies. Cetainly less than 20 days as an average. But we've had people take a month and work in Thailand which is not counted as vacation. So this is not some scheme to get people to work more. It's simply offering flexibility and empowering our team to make their own choices.
