You got that right. Been there. Did that. 70-80 a week was a norm at one point. But it got my boys through private college.
How many companies went to having mostly hourly employees and reduced employees’ hours when Obamacare went into effect?
After 5 years working at a job just like you describe, it was very easy for me to be satisfied at a job elsewhere.
That place now has 3 malcontents attempting my old work load and failing daily.
Capitalism would work if the government would stop hobbling the American spirit.
‘This wouldn’t have anything to do with increased taxes on that target wage....’
My thought exactly. I believe the naive mind-set of the left doesn’t allow them to follow through to the results and consequences of their actions - by that time it’s just easier to blame someone else and demand someone else pay for it.
In this case I agree the Government is looking to recoup taxes lost in the economic meltdown; a result of Left policy and Right submission.
If any business dares to defy this decree in any way it’ll be another attack on “greedy business owners”. Maybe Barry will take another cue from Venezuela and arrest these people and confiscate their companies.
Keep yer powder dry.
The companies which did this to me long ago went out of business.
Karma is real, my friend.
management people are usually closed lipped about their benefits and "extras" so I'm pretty sure they feel that they make out pretty well considering...
What a break for you that the State allowed you to change jobs!
No, they just have to recalculate the salary into hourly assuming a normal workweek and OT pay. So, a person who makes 30,000 and works 50 hours will be fired and re-hired at $10.48/hr and guaranteed 50 hours.
50 hrs + O.T. on 10 hours = 55 hours= 2860/yr = 10.48/hr.
