Microsoft Vacation Policy
Just wondering, for Microsoft Seattle location. L60 SDE 1 YOE 170k TC Is the 15 days of vacation pro-rated in the first year, or is 15 days of vacation days given all at once on the start date??? Will be joining in late August.
Vacation will accrue each pay period. I believe it's 5 hours every pay period. Sick time will be given all at once each year.
Is it flexible though? I suppose everyone just go talk with the manager and not report it online?
If you take vacation, it would be unethical not to report the hours in the tool. Not saying that people don't do that, however.
Dude, you never report vacation at MS, don’t you know? Just take a reasonable amount and tell your manager when you’re absent. There’s a culture of ignoring the vacation tool, no one ever checks it.
not sure if that is true or not
Trust me, it’s true. Same at G, btw. At FB it’s harder since vacation tracking is embedded into your calendar very tightly and everyone sees your status everyday.
Basically any company with vacation assigns you some number of hours per paycheck, where after 24 paychecks (or 26 if biweekly) you end up with whatever number of days the benefits package says you get per year.
How did you get 240K as L60. What is the breakdown?
Yeah, seems dubious. Op, what's your split?
