This is really great news.  Everyone knows that private business is not very efficient and that, with the help and oversight of an efficient federal government, things will be better for all concerned

Good. Businesses want to work people into the ground.

Not sure of the details, and I am sure the government will somehow make this into a fiasco, but I can see a valid point in this change. If you are only making 28 or 30 thousand a year, you should be able to draw overtime pay. Working 50 or 60 hours a week as a supervisor should be worth your time.

If your statement is true, then one could also say that people don't really want to work anymore

whatever. Do you not think that it is ridiculous for someone to work 70 a week without getting overtime pay.

My opinion is, it depends on their salary. If they are making 250 million dollars a year, do you think they deserve time and a half for overtime? I think it's already figured into their salary.
If they make 30,000 a year, then they should probably be getting overtime pay. With today's cost of living and salaries, I think somewhere between 40,000 and 75,000 is a fair salary for most low level supervisors to be considered white collar jobs not requiring overtime.

You do realize that if people don't like their salary or hours they are free to leave and find employment elsewhere.

I work up to 80 hours a week often, no overtime pay. Don't see anything wrong with that, its the salary I signed up for.

[Big girl]

I would never ever work that many hours.

[Big girl]

40 hours is all I am giving. Period.

[SKINS]

40 hours is all I am giving. Period.

That's great if you have a agreement with your employer, but some peoples agreements are different. I am on the clock at all times, work when I'm told, no matter how long.

A few months back, you were whining about someone else getting a supervisor position instead of you. Maybe this is the reason. I know you claimed it was because of racial discrimination, but maybe it was dedication to your job that caused you to get passed over.

:)  :D  :lol:

[Big girl]

That is a lie. I said a white supervisor did not have the credentials of the black nurses, yet she was the person of authority. There were others that were qualified and more knowledge that wanted the job. I never said I wanted it.. I would never apply for a supervisory position, because I am a rebel even when comes to my job.

[baddog]

....maybe even more knowledgeable, unlike yourself.

[Big girl]

Yeah right. Kmsl
