> So are people expected to work 40 hours/week or not? Folks are expected to work 32 hours per week, although if you get technical and throw in PTO and holiday

  A little napkin math for anyone else doing comparisons: 28.9 hours * 52 weeks ~= 1500 hours --- 37.5 hours * 48 weeks ~= 1800 hours 37.5 hours * 47 weeks ~= 1760 hours 37.5 hours * 46 weeks ~= 1725 hours 37.5 hours * 40 weeks ~= 1500 hours So even if you have 4 weeks off and 10 holidays, Treehouse still expects ~225 hours less work per year, or the equivalent of having 10 weeks off and 10 holidays at a normal 9-5 job with a half hour lunch. Treehouse likely gives 2 weeks off, 10 holidays, and 52 Fridays off :)

    Their leave actually looks pretty generous: 18 days (or 4.5 weeks) paid time off 1 week off for the holidays (in addition to paid time off) https://teamtreehouse.com/jobs/at-treehouse-3b0b0839-71a0-4fd2-80c8-c380c49f2cc1 https://teamtreehouse.com/jobs/at-treehouse-3b0b0839-71a0-4f...

  Okay, so that's a clear rule and that's great--your workplace sounds like a place I'd like to work. My objection isn't to systems where there is a clear, honest expectation set. My objection is to systems where people say, "We don't give much time off, but you get to work from home a lot. Oh and we won't be able to verify if you don't work the 40 hours we expect, nudge nudge wink wink." It sounds weird, but the latter is all-too-common, especially at startups.
