Why are people freaking out over this? Valve has no security for the lobby (all their pictures are from the lobby), anyone can walk in and look around, just go to the 5th floor.

Saw it way back when I took the photo (long before the public tournament). Talked up receptionist and convinced her to talk to the guy she knew in order to get me beta keys.
btw, Valve has no management system, they are all equals, including Gabe. Gabe was oof though, did get to see his knives and both his offices (he moves a lot).

>>115830622 Two weeks at some companies.
But you want to be careful about using it all up at once. It's the only time off you get, so most people who get vacation time save a week or so of it to take a day at ta time for obligations outside work during the work week. There's doctors appointments, family emergencies, etc. that you have to plan for, those all take vacation days. If you have some days left over, and they're going to expire, you can squeeze in a couple 3 day weekends.
But you eurofags couldn't possibly comprehend the American work ethic.

>>115833181 You forgot some jobs also make you use your vacation time after a year or two which I think is bullshit, but hey it'd be bad if someone took off for half a year. I remember back in high school one of the janitors had so many days saved up that they offered to 'buy' those vacation/sick days. If I remember he had enough for a school year or so.
