PwC has office wide holidays Dec 23 - Jan 3? Is this on top of the allocated vacation days / PTO? Can anyone confirm, I’m skeptical 🤔

Valid question OP. Ths was not the case 6-10 years ago. Next step - shutdown for the Canada day week.

Usually it is a mix of vacation days + statutory holidays + additional days

Thanks !

The office is closed Dec. 24-Jan. 3 inclusive. These are all either firm provided paid days off, or stat holidays EXCEPT one day. For Dec. 29 you need to take a vacation, float, or unpaid day.

Great info, thanks!

Isn't this normal? No work would get done during that time anyway and most clients also have time off during that period

Thanks

It’s normal even for boutique/small firms.

What is the health insurance coverage at Google? How much deductible and copay?

I just logged in for open enrollment and see that my benefit costs are increasing quite a bit. Family of 4 - medical/dental/vision will be about $345/pay period plus whatever I contribute to my HSA. Is this the norm now or is this way too much? We are also on an income based rate plan and I recently crossed into the bottom of the most expensive tier so it’s an even bigger hit over the normal YoY increase.

Studies show, Friday pizza parties are better than vacation.
