PS3 jobs are in full affect.

SCEE give 25 days paid holiday.

Staff discounts are nice, but often have to wait weeks before you see the goods.
 
as much as I'd like Apple to collaborate with Sony on the PS3, it ain't gonna happen.

This ad is for someone to work with audio-libraries, and audio-work is often done on Macs. And since Apple has PPC-cpu's there might be some added benefits on working on a Mac. Making custom audio-tools for/in OS X to develop sound effects for PS3-games and stuff like that is what I figure these guys will be doing.

It would be awesome if they outsourced the GUI-work to Apple though.
 
Discounts.... yum.... But the holidays thing is crap!!! i got 25 days straight away when starting my new job! and that's paid leave, time off, without counting sick days and all.... Strange how you guys have to little...

There's a far different standard for vacations or holidays between the US and Europe.

Most jobs start you off with 10 days and you can build up. Each year you stay with the same employer, you accrue more days per year. 160 hours of vacation a year usually goes to someone who's been with the company 5 years or more.
 
This is probably the price for the economic strength of the US, everyone has to work his ass off :D While the rest of the world is slacking ;)

It's kinda strange that sick days count as vacation time though :oops: What if you brake your leg and cant go to work for 4 weeks? Here you will be fully paid (or 80% after a certin amount of days/weeks) for the whole time and still got your vacation time (usually 4 weeks) :D You can't be fired because of that either.

the B grade inventory sale makes up for it.

60inch network plasma wega tv for 3000 bucks?

Even B stock gets discounted :p

Plasma TV costs--

Better hurry! I believe they are stopping the practice of selling B grade to employees!!
 
Dunno about the B-stock but I know as soon new models come out rather than trying to keep the existing stuff in channels, they're going to move towards auctioning old inventory through eBay (or something like that)
 
I hope they don't get rid of b stock . The only sony stuff i get now is from my friend for birthdays and x mass haha cause he works for them

It's always good to have friends that work at Sony.

More the merrier.
 
I get 10 days vacation, no sick days, no floater or personal days (if I get sick, that comes out of the vacation).. :(

If you break your leg or something, that's what STD is for (Short Term Disability).
 
I've been with my company for several years and this year I've gained the right to no less than 30 vacation days. But, seeing as my work is related to international stock markets and there is always one major market open somewhere even on major international holidays, I have hardly any automatic holiday days at all. I only get easter and the 1st day of Christmas (unless that happens to be a weekend anyway like this year). :)
