“It is going to kill fast food and retail. IT will be a bloodbath if they have to pay programmers and engineers overtime and on-call pay.”
Pharmacy also. This is bullshit. Anyone happy about this just doesn’t understand that one way or another, businesses are going to find a way to control costs. There will be more layoffs, and those left behind will have an even more unsafe working environment than already exists.
CVS and Walgreens are going to have a problem at the Manager slot, but Pharmacists are making well over $52K, so I don’t see that to be a problem. Salaried assistant managers are as dead as the 80’s anymore. I am thinking more of the Footlocker, Gamestop, and mall clothing stores. How do you manage a store like that with non-salaried manager who can only get 40 hours per week and have to pay for health insurance.
Malls are going to have even more empty space after this comes into effect.
