| Sep 19, 2016 at 10:46 | comment | added | Fogmeister | @DavidRicherby I only mentioned them because they are the biggest employer in Amsterdam and the biggest employer of overseas employees. I did it as more of a guess than anything. Fair enough though :-) | |
| Sep 19, 2016 at 10:43 | comment | added | David Richerby | I removed your example of a specific company (subject to the edit being accepted). There's no need to give an example of a company that has offices because it's such a common situation. On the contrary, giving a specific company as an example for such a general and common situation makes it look like that company would be exceptional in some way. (And, honestly, when a new user mentions a company apropos of nothing at all, it looks a lot like an ad.) | |

| Sep 19, 2016 at 9:30 | comment | added | TonyK | Such an email risks an answer like "Please turn up in Reception at 8:30", without mentioning which day that is. | |
| Sep 19, 2016 at 0:16 | comment | added | MSalters | If you're doing Operations Support for Booking.com, you could expect the occasional Saturday or Sunday shift - it's the kind of website where a weekend outage is probably worse than a weekday outage. But developers aren't even allowed to think about production servers on Fridays ;) | |
