No longer a contract programmer

Is part of California Law. Employers have to grant at least one day of diversity off. For example, you have Mexicans working for you. And they celebrate, let's say 16 of September (Mexico's Independence) or 24 of February (Flag day). Well they can take that day off. They can choose one of their national or religion days. And well, ya have Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, Iranies(sp), Iraquies(sp), Canadians, Mexicans, South Americans, Europeans... California is quite diverse.

This law started two years ago.

For Americans working for the company, they can take one of the days the employer doesn't give. Like Martin Luther King day, columbus day, etc... [/b]

woot nice shit.

how much do they match in yer 401k and how much time off ya get?

my company matches 100% of 3% and 50% of 2% with 100% vestment right away. time off sucks though - 18 days for sick,vacation,personal - everything
and i gotta pay my patch in medical/dental - but they have a vision plan that's cheap.

no cell - but i'm not a real programmer in their minds.

What is a 401(k)?
A 401(k) is a type of retirement plan that allows employees to save and invest for their own retirement. Through a 401(k), you can authorize your employer to deduct a certain amount of money from your paycheck before taxes are calculated, and to invest it in the 401(k) plan. Your money is invested in investment options that you choose from the ones offered through your company's plan. The federal government established the 401(k) in 1981 with special tax advantages, to encourage people to prepare for retirement. They get their catchy name from the section of the Internal Revenue Code which established them (you guessed it, section 401(k)).

If I had a camera phone I'd show you the pic from my window...

if i had a window..

oh wait...I'm facing yellow walls of doom that were white once.

They turned yellow from the 80's when smoking was allowed in doors.

And I stare. All day.

And go crazy.
