It was exaggerated for comedic effect.
Here we get 25 days (5 work weeks) each year by law. Some get more; I don’t know the average amount of days. Apparently you get 28 days if you don’t get overtime compensation.
In general 4 consecutive weeks are used during the summer months.
You also get paid more during vacation, for some reason.
All other EU countries have a minimum of 20 paid days.
14·2 years agoDuckduckgo didn’t track anyone if I recall correctly.
I think they whitelisted (or it was a bug, can’t remember) some Microsoft trackers.
Not great, but not as bad as it looks.
Just use Firefox ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Not defending them, but I assume it’s the American bosses implementing what they think is normal.
If a company wants to keep policy in other countries it has to make it very clear to each branch, otherwise they will forget or not care about the policy.
Almost everyone has vacation in the summer (winter is cold and shit) so most office work slows down heavily during a few weeks and then picks up again during and after August…
Retail and stuff like that is obviously different.

Why though‽ Most consumer routers even have a guest network enabled by default.
it really depends on what the company does.
That’s true, but an attack could probably cause a lot of damage to any company (especially a big one) without proper security. Regardless of what they do.
Well at least you don’t have to deal with ITs PC policies, which can get pretty annoying. Allowing any device to join the company network seems incredibly stupid though.
Let’s just hope that none of your unmanaged machines get compromised.
At my previous company, only domain work computers could join the PC WiFi (with a certificate, so no passwords) and work smartphones could only join the work WiFi for mobiles.
Private devices and very limited amount of non domain computers were only allowed on the guest network and couldn’t connect to any other.
The company didn’t do anything special that needed extra security.
Alright. Seems reasonable as long as the devices are sandboxed from the company network and resources.
Do the other departments use managed devices? IT might get pretty mad if your department went over them and bought computers themselves, lol.
It’s not optimal from a security and legal point of view.
How could you see it was connected to a known tor IP? Would you not just see the IP of the VPN server and not the final destination?
And VPN servers are often flagged for all kinds of shit because some use them for tor or spam.
More likely they aren’t given the budget they have requested.
They are also probably busy doing regular IT things like maintaining the IT infrastructure.
Local news stations don’t really exist in my country so I don’t know how many employees they usually have but it’s possible they don’t even have an IT department.
