General Chit-Chat Thread: A New Beginning

[Butters]

my uncle is the boss of a home depot type store and he worked 60 hours a week and only gets paid for 40.

 

[Loochblade]

Everyone I've personally met that has been on salary works more than 40 hours a week.

Yea, because the US has a multitude of problems when it comes to workplaces and contracts

Everyone I've personally met that has been on salary works more than 40 hours a week.

sounds like they need to learn to say no

 

[Chris]

The head managers here will work days straight with minimal sleep at month end. They don't get OT but they do get a higher salary than me, hope it's worth it for them bc I keep saying no when I'm asked about doing it

 

[Comrade Khan]

Ppl constantly just let employers take advantage

 

[Comrade Khan]

I.also feel in most cases ppl don't ma age their time

 

[Barry Poppins]

I'll never take salary for my company.

 

[Butters]

They could say no but they'll also probably be let go. That's America for you.

 

[Comrade Khan]

But I'm prob generalizing

 

[O-Blaze]

Some places are way to short staffed also, so saying no could cause them to get fired, or in trouble

 

[Comrade Khan]

W salary u get vacation n benefits here too so

 

[Chris]

Yeah where I'm at now, I'm expected to be available 8-5 but no one micromanages me so some days I just don't do shit if I'm not feeling it. I just know my deadlines and that I have to make them or then I can't exactly say no to working late, I have all month to get this shit done tho

 

[Butters]

one of my old assistant managers and i did the math for his salary and my hourly wage and with the hours he was working he was actually making less hourly than I was

 

[Professor Booty]

I took a salary position once



Just once

 

[Barry Poppins]

The only way I'll take salary anywhere is if I'm guaranteed to only work a maximum number of hours (45 max), I get vacation benefits, and I get free health and dental insurance for it.
