- namelezz 10y agoWait until you ask your interviewers about on call rotation.
- dvarga 10y agoIt's definitely something we're watching carefully. On-call is still a thing on these teams, but we think there are ways to keep the burden low.
- Terr_ 10y agoMaybe I'm too cynical, but the first thing that came to mind for me was: "Just few-enough hours that employees have no benefits."
- apr 10y agoThe magic number for the benefits cut-off is 20 hours/week.
- Terr_ 10y agoI'm not sure what you're referring to -- Amazon policy? -- but the usual critical-point is 30 hours, for full-vs-part-time legislation and stuff like the ACA. https://www.healthcare.gov/glossary/full-time-employee/ https://www.healthcare.gov/glossary/full-time-employee/
- dvarga 10y agoWe meet that definition of full-time employee and everyone on the team gets full benefits.
- dvarga 10y agoThanks! We're excited to pilot this program and make it successful.
