Why are men using the women's restroom? Doesn't that make the women (assuming any work there) uncomfortable?

#22You're never going to employ blind people?
EDIT: Yes, this post is perhaps a bit grumpy. I leave it here because it's been replied to. (And because HN has no strikethrough.)

Probably they are considering this is cool.

#24I would love to know the process/steps they went through to come up with this document to it's current state.

There are quite a few women that work here, actually. It's more like both are unisex for all, but it has been comical to guests that see men coming out of the women's bathroom.
They're each only one person... so... it's not at as odd as it seems. Inside joke, perhaps.
Granted, there isn't much context there haha

#26I know I'm gonna get downvoted, but something about it gives me the creeps. It's almost as if the culture itself is some altar you have to worship at, rather than being the consensual improv that great cultures turn out to be.

#27These rules are nothing new. Every company seems to start this way and then eventually each of these principles die with a little regulation here and a little adjustment there.
I think it's not about new, all businesses have positive values they hold and want to spread across the organization.
It's very empowering as an Employee when an employer codifies these rules and says yep they are real , here they are in writing and you can hold me to them also.
That I think is the fascinating part, because in my experience writing up this stuff and then actually brining it into play is notoriously difficult.

#29I am just curious... Do these "take as much vacation as you want" policies work out well in practice? Or do the policies unintentionally create a competition to vacation less? Can anyone who works at a company with one of these policies share their perspective? How much is the approximate median vacation time taken?
I've been under two unlimited policies and have taken reasonable time off in both. I take off exactly how much I want to take off, and its not really a concern that I'm under/over-utilizing my time off. I don't ask for anything unreasonable and in exchange I've had no problems taking as much time off as I want.

#30>If you want to coast, we recommend you apply for a job at Craigslist Catty much? Amusing assertion given that Jeremy Zawodny works there.
The link was to the SF craigslist jobs page. I think they meant go on Craigslist and apply for another job there, rather than work for the Craigslist outfit itself.
