It's partially not their fault. The larger a corporation gets, the bigger the disconnect from individual employees. Additionally, even small businesses rotate employees very frequently due to them wanting to do something else / having the job be something they didn't expect / personal reasons, etc. This makes it increasingly hard for them to have genuine care &/ personal investment into people overtime.

Absolutely true. Once you hit ~56 hours in a week, your overtime drops awful close to straight time. Past 60-something, it's even less, I stopped working more than 60 after that first 10 hour sunday added something like $50 to what the previous 60-hour check got me, so less than minimum wage. And no, this was seven years back, not back in the 70's. "You'll get it back at tax time" means all the pay you didn't see was sent straight into uncle sam's pocket as an interest-free loan; you worked to put your money in someone else's wallet.

Change your career and job… it’s easier than it looks and you can get way better life very quickly by merely not working shit blue collar jobs where the employer doesn’t see you as anything of value because they think you need them and not the other way around. All you need to do is put a few months of additional attention towards finding, choosing, and getting ready for your next career… most don’t require diplomas or have ways to get in easy. I got into the tech industry by becoming a software quality assurance tester, learned how to code in about a year, now am a developer making $70K per year from home (no diploma, high school drop out with a GED) and I could do better if I put in a little effort in finding a better salary but I enjoy what I have already so I don’t feel compelled to hustle beyond because I’m also now a futures day trader and am well on my way to full financial freedom and success. Of course, all of this requires good brains and to be a grown up, because with comfort, full benefits, and good pay for little effort comes the expectation of high society manners and etiquette. One can’t be a hillbilly in a tech company but one can drive a forklift with said mentality. So it’s not for everyone but I can guarantee that you’re most likely wasting your human life’s potential driving that shit day in day out and could do like a hundred times better while also loving what you do so it doesn’t even feel like work… I get tired from work by the end of the week but it doesn’t feel like work and I get to do whatever I want, I can even travel to another country for months while working from my laptop… oh and I never ask for a raise, they simply give it to me every half year and it’s usually a couple-few thousand each time… took 2 years from being a broke absolute loser and drug addict to where I am now, borderline full blown “successful”.

Same happened to a couple of us where I worked a few years back. Our top performers that would be pushed to stay late to help out pretty often were suddenly salaried management with nothing but a pay "raise" (cut) and new title. Lots of moaning and groaning about losing money for being good at our jobs so I shot out on our group chat something along the lines of "I take this as a great opportunity. Remember everyone, this is management experience for our resumes. Just so long as that paperwork has your official titles as "manager" then you can apply to places with that." About 6 of 8 of our hardest workers left for other jobs within the month. I don't know about everyone else but when I asked about feedback in the interview they said that having management on my resume was a big plus lol

If the salary position that is based on a 50 hour work week continuously goes over 50 (as in a pattern of 55, 60, 70, etc + hours) they MUST pay you Additionally on top of the salary amount.

I was working for the company through a temp agency that paid me and the other temps $7.50 an hour while charging Tatex $21 an hour for each one of us. Well after I had been at Tatex for about four months, they brought all of the temps in for a meeting and told us they had some great news. They were going to hire us all on directly and we would no longer be temps. Cool! So that means a pay increase, right? Nope. We were still going to get $7.50 an hour. But the way they played it up was that they were really doing us a huge favor when really all they wanted to do was save money.

I stayed because I needed money and figured it was better than going back to the food industry since I had no other marketable skill. I hated that job and let the bosses know it. I would argue with bosses when I needed time to pick up my future wife or when I needed a sick day, and lost it on one supervisor over his attitude toward me, but I worked hard as hell and the rest of the guys working there were barely sentient chimps. It paid off, though, because I did land a job with the electrical contractor who came in for some of the remodel and still work for that company these 9 years later.

There is no way this could happen because the labor board will fall hard on them because being salaried doesn't mean they can make you work all the hours they want. If you are paid for 50 hours and they make it impossible through their rules to work 50 hours the labor board will come down hard on you. Saw this happen when I worked for a place where their rules made it impossible for some managers who were getting paid for 50 hours to actually work 50 hours and they were were working 60-70 hours a week and the TWC in Texas hit them with fines and made them pay all the extra hours in overtime to their managers.

Goodwill out of Flagstaff Arizona did this. I needed a job desperately and that's exactly what they did to me. I had to work minimum 50 hours a week which took my"salary" to around the minimum freaking wage. I was the facilities manager of several buildings mind you. Then, I had to work overtime and get this 50 hours was not overtime but then I had to work overtime but I wasn't allowed to look at it as overtime either. And once every two or three weeks I worked 60 to 70+ hours that week. I made around three dollars an hour BELOW minimum wage one week. I tried speaking to the CEO Dave, and the two other directors Jordan and Andrew. All they would say is I can't look at the way I did. See they went to school and they thought since I didn't have a college education I was stupid. They actually told me how stupid all the employees were especially the Indians off the reservation that worked there. They were too stupid to have back to back days off. Yeah they didn't use the word stupid they said not intelligent enough but that means stupid. I kid you not. And it was legal. And I had to keep that job for damn near a year and a half before I could find a better one. Flagstaff is in Coconino County which is a liberal county. which means poor pay finally got the hell out of there

My work place did something like this two years ago. They stopped quarterly bonuses and gave us all "raises". Most people got nothing, the average was .15 if ya did. Per year we got about 2.4k a year in bonuses. The raises, if you got one at all, got you about 300 a year. Pay cuts dressed up as raises coupled with increased quotas. Mfers.
@burning_candle
Жыл бұрын
My last job did the same thing. We would get 1-2k (I can't remember for sure) a year in bonuses besides our Christmas bonus. Suddenly they said they wanted to make bonuses based on work performance rather than "guaranteed", and we were getting a raise to compensate us. The idea being that if we did well on a big job (construction field) then we could get a cut of the profits. They claimed that we could actually get more bonus pay than we used to get if we did a good job. Admittedly, the raise wasn't terrible (I don't recall what it was) but it didn't make up for the bonuses. After a year, and many big/good jobs, not one of us got a bonus. I finally complained in a meeting with my boss and supervisor and was flat out told "Well you haven't done a good enough job to earn one". Now I'll be honest and say that I wasn't the best out of my coworkers (one in particular was VERY good at his job and had over 20 years with that company and even he didn't get a bonus) but I always gave my best and did extra to make sure things were done right. I was even promoted to a "field supervisor" fairly early in my time there since I did a good job. After being told I wouldn't be getting a bonus then, or probably ever, I took a shot and asked for a raise and was scoffed at and blatantly told no. I just walked out of that meeting without a word. Less than 4 months later, for that and other reasons, I left that job. Management was very bad in SO many ways and even when we pointed it out in an effort to help them (constructive criticism) they somehow managed to get worse. In my resignation letter, which I sent to all the board members of the company and my supervisors, I called them out for their bad management and disrespect towards their employees. They haven't changed a bit though since I left (I still talk to old coworkers) and they are going to keep driving people away (I know of two others that left within a month of me for the same or similar reasons). The ship is taking on water but since they're on the top deck they are oblivious.

It isn't particularly nice, but bonuses are under the complete discretion of the employer. They can decide to alter or stop them at any point, which is what it sounded like they decided to do and tried to reduce outrage with the joke "raises". I've learned that a bonus should never be relied upon or viewed as anything other than an ethereal carrot, since it has so much flexibility to screw the employee. Isn't two years ago pandemic time, when there was a great deal of uncertainty and normal economic processes were disrupted?

Had a similar situation, but was actually a manager. Was the only manager willing to drive 60+ miles to open a restaurant. Got paid mileage pay so started making bank. About two months in a higher up wanted to change my home location to the store I drove to with a 25 cent “raise”. Said no, I like my mileage and I’m not moving. Another month goes by and wow, the store is now my home store! No mileage! Gave a 3 week notice, stupid, I know. They found someone to train up to manager, that person didn’t come in for their first shift alone so I get a call. Nope, it’s my day off, I’ll finish the week out still. Not much of poetic justice, but my supervisor had to cover. And that supervisor also brought 2 of her supervisors to help cause they couldn’t handle the place with the same staffing they wanted and allowed. Good times. Now I just drive a truck and cuddle with my dog in the sleeper.

But I’ve been lucky with my past couple jobs where leadership understands there may be long days, and then you can cut out or shorten other days. The funny part is when you shorten your day hourly employees like to make remarks about it. I always respond with, “ we can put you on salary right here, right now based on your 40 hours a week.” That shuts them up real quick.

If you live in Virginia there are legal definitions of what constitutes "management" especially for civil servants. So if your company tries this with you be sure to reference the law. In most instances you have to work 90+ % in an "administrative capacity" for them to make you salaried. Meaning if you run the lawn mower 39 out of the 40 hours you work a week they cannot deem you 'administrative". I am unfamiliar with other states but its worth the time to look it up.
