A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

A proposal from the Labor Department would make an estimated 3.6 million salaried workers newly eligible for overtime pay. It covers workers earning less than $55,000 per year.

I mean I’m paid kick ass money. I also don’t work much but this issue here is the Arby’s manager and not us.

They’ll make them a “manager” and then work them 80 hours a week.

That’s unfair and that’s abusive. Workers should be paid fairly and in most cases 40 hours should be the cap.

Salary should not be an excuse to work someone to death. It should be used to avoid tracking hours and making pay easier
