What Do You Want To Talk About? (EnWorld edition)

[Dog Moon]

Well, some of us don't slack off while we're at work.

Well, I'm leaving my crappy job.
It's been weird. This week and last week, I had 2 jobs. The week before, I had three. Before that, only one. Next week: back to no job.
Job 1: the crappy restaurant job.
Job 2: cleaning an empty apartment and getting it ready.
Job 3: helping with a wedding (even though it was only designing the program, with 1 week and about 2-3 hours per night, it was no small task).
Wedding was last Saturday.
Apartment is clean and ready--tenant signs lease Friday.
Gave 3-weeks' notice on the 13th of Sept.

I have another rant and rave, but it is on the "fashion" of fugly light fixtures, and not likely to be exciting here.

That sounds terrible. I can't remember the last time I actually worked eight hours in a single day.

Does it count if I do not really work when I'm at work?

You "work" for gov't so even when you do work, you don't.

I don't generally slack off while at work. I'm just never at work for eight hours in any single day.

All this talk about overtime ... who the hell gets paid overtime? I mean, I work OT but I'm salary so I don't get any extra money. Then again, I get paid well so I don't care. Plus I don't work that much OT anyway. If I have to work a weekend I get comp time, too. So yeah.

 

[Kramodlog]

OT is exploitation. As soon as I work outside of my regular hours, I get paid 150% of my regular salary. 200% on sunday and holidays. Pure unadulterated exploitation.

 

[Zombie_Babies]

Sounds like it.

My last job refused to pay over time. You still got your normal hourly rate even if you worked more than the limit. There's a reason why people didn't like working there...

But my new job will apparently have overtime, but it's going to be VERY limited. Like I'll be lucky to get an hour or two every payday.

People who get paid hourly.

I mean, I work OT but I'm salary so I don't get any extra money. Then again, I get paid well so I don't care. Plus I don't work that much OT anyway. If I have to work a weekend I get comp time, too. So yeah.

I didn't know janitors could get salary?

I can't work overtime. I only work the hours that are approved for each client. Any extra hours the current wants, they have to post for. Unfortunately I can't charge overtime, but then again, there is no way I could work 40+ hours with any single client. That would be insane.
