That's 5.2 weeks/year. So a week every other month-ish. A little high for my taste but not bad. I think 5 is the upper-bound for my tolerance. Honestly though

I think 5 is the upper-bound for my tolerance. Honestly though when I have kids, it will be unreasonable.
- ivan_gammel 3y agoSome companies make exceptions for people who cannot go to an offsite for various reasons. It will be interesting to see what Dropbox policy is, but I agree with you that 5 weeks is a lot for individual contributors (except sales team).
- scarface_74 3y agoI had a job that required and expected you to be able to travel to a customer site and it was stated up front in the job requirements (cloud consulting). But when we had internal team meetings, no one put any pressure on you to travel. But in my opinion it would have been dumb not to travel to meet your coworkers and manager in person. Besides, many of us would bring our spouses along and pay for their ticket out of pocket and extend our stay over the weekend if it was some place they wanted to come.
- prmoustache 3y agoyou forget to remove the public holidays and your personnal vacation from that count. It is more like 4 weeks.
- illiac786 3y agoFunny how norms shift, it's like a snowslide, it happens at once after nothing changing for a long time. Trying to think five years back what was considered unreasonable was rather the other way around, from a ratio point if view... It gives me hope that some things can change for the better much faster than we anticipate.
