more layoffs coming because of this

i am not against all such measures but O does them secretly and then just springs them on USA like a Kenyan or Indonesian or Muslim dictator would do

someone needs to remind O that he’s in USA (legally or not) and should try to act like an American

...more layoffs coming because of this

Absolutely. Obama and the liberals continue to bring down the country.

Surprisingly, I'm in favor of this:
indexed to ensure the threshold remains at the 40th percentile of full-time salaried workers in the lowest income region of the country.
Not surprisingly, I hate the way our Dear Leader did the deed!

NLRB already mandates OT for hourly workers, that's why so many low level "supervisors" and "managers" get put on salary and then worked 60-70 hour weeks for a 40 hour salary. Happened to me in the '70s with TRW (I left) and is happening to son-in-law today in transportation.

I've lost count of how many people I've known who refused promotion because they'd lose too much money just to gain a meaningless title.
(Also reminds me of a time long ago when promotion to O4 meant just enough pay raise to throw a decent promotion party.)

As to the how was it done...I'm not knowledgeable enough to speak on labor laws vs regulations & I wasn't in on any of the alleged talks leading up to this but it sure rings of "stroke of a pen" rule.

Secretly? That’s patently absurd.

We’ve been scoping this work out for months now, the only question being what the cutoff figure would be.
