Ask HN: Which are the best Vacation Policies you've ever heard about?
Hi, My name is Angela Cois and I'm Cofounder at LastRoom, a travel booking platform for smart companies (www.lastroom.com). I'm doing a research about vacation policy models within startups and I'm going to share them in a series of posts on Medium. This is the first post I wrote to explain the reasons why I’m analyzing this topic: https://medium.com/@angiecois/dear-santa-this-year-i-just-want-to-break-from-the-grid-dda3fc89e49a Which are the best vacation policies you've ever heard? Do you have concrete examples or startups' founders to introduce to me? Are you working for a company that you consider a great example? I'd like to know more about it! This is a quick survey to explain your company case: https://docs.google.com/a/lastroom.com/forms/d/1iJHcseis93Qs5l6YdnXi__o0_JmOgSLa7oRdkOFNZe4/viewform?c=0&w=1
Thanks for your help guys! 42 floors has an interesting mandatory 2 weeks vacation when you start working there. [0] Paperplanes has a mandatory minimum vacation policy on top of their unlimited vacation policy, in order to prevent employees from feeling like they can never take a break since there's always more to do (a common issue with unlimited vacation policies). As for my own startup, we're still super early stage so its "unlimited" but I don't foresee us being able to take a break anytime soon. :/ [0]: http://www.businessinsider.com.au/42-floors-vacation-policy-...
