I’m sure Trump is listening.
Get. Government. Out. Of. Our. Lives.
That time has come.
I've had many salaried jobs and in none of them did I have control over when and where I worked. And if I had 39 hours on my timesheet HR would ask why I didn't add one vacation hour to bring it up to 40. Now if I came in over 40 they didn't complain one bit. I knew what I was getting into when I started, but the vast majority of salaried jobs would be wage jobs if DOL rules were followed strictly.
Was talking with someone today about this, and he said it was a give-away to municipal and state employees (maybe fed) who are on salary, especially those from small townships and the like.
His thoughts were that it was a hand-out to shore up their vote in November.
Interesting perspective, one I hadn’t thought of, but curious in any event.
I’ve been required to work specific hours on every salaried job I ever had. And if I missed work I was docked. That’s why I got on commission and stayed there until I retired.
The media has done a terrible job reporting this one. No mention at all of the thousands of jobs to be lost and thousands who will have hours reduced to comply with the latest diktat from the Kremlin at 1600 Penn.
The media seems to think there are free lunches everywhere.
When a person is offered a salaried position they totally understand that overtime is not paid. If they don’t like that, then they don’t take the job. If they are required to work more overtime than they expected, they should quit and let someone else have the job. The nanny state MUST keep of it.
It looks like it was not a matter of the idea not working at IBM but rather IBM making sure it did not work in the employee’s favor. I agree though that the article’s assumptions about benefits of being salaried are not correct.
This is an outrageous lie! Every penny of taxpayer money has been spent with the utmost care and prudence! And put to the best possible use! Not a penny was wasted! That wine was excellent! The hot tub was a customary and necessary expense! Only filthy neocons and lying Republicans would ever say otherwise. Just ask Jeffrey Neely!
