I used to work at a company and got paid overtime after 50 hours. Out in the field though and could rack up 80+ hours in a week. Got “promoted” with very little pay raise. And also put up into the bracket where I was not payed O.T.
Of course they were laying people off at the time(hence my effective pay cut), so I wasn’t in any position to complain. I still had my job.
Sounds like my husband’s experience over the years. We now find ourselves much worse off than before the Obama economic “miracle” worked its magic.
