Did anyone every work for a reasonably small company (i.e. where you still feel somewhat familiar with the rest of the staff) that was a) distributed amongst the globe b) where just the local labor laws for vacation time applied (Note that I'm talking about operations where you still know your colleagues in Europe/Asia/America, not bigger outsourcing operations) Even considering the different attitudes about vacation time(^1), I'd guess that something like this would breed more envy than it's worth it. If there's a slight disparity (even 5-10 days), it would probably work out, but if one team is working in Texas, have almost no holidays, don't get any vacation time, whereas the other team is in Germany where you'll get your 4+2 weeks of holidays/vacation, this won't go down that well. ^1: We "socialists" are a pampered bunch
