We all know who we have to thank for this, now down’t we.
Osama Bin Laden? 😉
So don’t work late. Seems to be a no brainer.
If it were only that simple. Some employers require overtime as part of the duties. It sucks, but it’s a fact of life.
Rule 7: Employees whose main duties are computer-related and involve the implementation, analysis, development, or application of computer systems or designs are also not eligible for overtime.
Yep, that is us. So who exactly is eligible for overtime now other than fast food workers and cold callers?
Like anything else…you have a choice of whom you work for. If you don’t like your job get a different one. Otherwise suck it up. That’s what the free market is about. Either you’re good enough for your employer to keep you around under your conditions or you need the job badly enough to stick around under his.
I don’t recall back during the internet boom years employers going to their congressmen trying to get laws passed saying they don’t have to buy cars for their employees. They just sucked it up. Now you can say, but they were making millions. Sorry to burst your bubble, but there were alot of small companies on a shoe string budget who had to lay out lots of money since the market favored the employee over the employer. Now it’s the other way around. Live with it. It’ll turn around again. Just quit whining.
And no, I don’t make $100,000 or overtime.
