| 08:30 | <annevk> | wanderview: if you read IRC, which you shouldn't since you're on PTO, don't read my email (since you're on PTO) |
| 08:30 | <annevk> | wanderview: also, happy PTO |
| 08:31 | <kochi> | what does PTO mean here? |
| 08:31 | <annevk> | kochi: paid time off |
| 08:32 | <kochi> | annevk: ic, I've never heard it :) |
| 08:32 | <annevk> | I guess it's Mozilla specific? I found it rather weird when I first encountered it |
| 08:33 | <JakeA> | I haven't heard it around these parts |
| 08:33 | <annevk> | Need those TLAs to keep the new people at bay |
| 09:43 | <gsnedders> | I've heard it at other places, all US admittedly |
| 10:01 | <jgraham> | annevk: FWIW I saw some of the demo run of the travel booking training, and it's didn't seem like worse UI than the current system or you would expect. I think "training" is just a checkbox on the list of things to do for a corp. IT rollout (and maybe needed in this case for people like EAs who might use more advanced features not needed by normal people) |
| 10:02 | <annevk> | jgraham: ta |
| 10:02 | <jgraham> | (I think PTO is a US thing because it covers sick days and stuff there as well as vacation time) |
| 10:23 | <nox> | (Which is quite strange indeed.) |
| 10:28 | <jgraham> | Yeah, it's obviously terrible |
| 13:41 | <TabAtkins> | Yeah, it's just a blanket term for any of the various things that let you get paid for not working. Includes parental leave, etc |
| 14:04 | <nox> | TabAtkins: Because the one paying your salary when ill is still your employer, right? |
| 14:04 | <TabAtkins> | Yeah |
