Huh, I work for a huge Fortune 500 company and TIL that we don't really have a unified handbook. If you want to look up something (like paid time off) you have to go find where the web page for that thing is, which is probably in an entirely different part of the intranet site from something else (like official holidays).

That’s likely because at a F500 you have a lot of variation between jurisdictions (states, or worse nations) on pretty fundamental things like PTO, overtime, etc. So each has its own set of rules and HR helps communicate them (via handbook or other means like a sharepoint site or slack channel)
