Everything else is lumped together way further down. :)

Keep at it! We need more Oklahomazillians. ;)

A company has to take specific action (and sometimes, pay extra) to get a rider that includes these procedures. A group of us (including me and Christie) tried to get this changed this year, but we were told that this year, HR is focusing on improving benefits for Mozilla employees who work in Europe. We’ll be keeping an eye on what happens next year.

Regardless of my current job, years of experience or whatever position I apply for. Been using Firefox since the Phoenix days. Contributed countless hours of debugging, testing, writing documentation and even a little bit of code. I’d sure love to know what Mozilla’s recruiters have against me.

It seems kind of bizarre to me that we wouldn’t make an effort to be accommodating on the point, or that there wouldn’t be providers or whatever that could enable that.
