Lmao

Andrew Boz Bosworth, claimed on Twitter the Metamates thing was in fact an original invention of the famous cognitive scientist, physicist, and author Douglas Hofstadter, who an employee cold emailed for ideas. Sure, whatever. Bosworth added it was based on the Navy adage ship, shipmates, self, which is at least partially a reminder of how not to drown to death and doesnt sound at all sexual.

During a virtual all-hands meeting at the company on Tuesday, according to Verge senior reporter Alex Heath, CEO Mark Zuckerberg rattled off a list of new corporate values that Meta will go by. One of the most important is the catchphrase Meta, Metamates, me, designating the order of importance by which Meta employees should rank their own interests vs. their colleagues and the companys well-being. The Washington Post subsequently confirmed Heaths account of the presentation.

@pogo_rabid

The federal overtime provisions are contained in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Unless exempt, employees covered by the Act must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek at a rate not less than time and one-half their regular rates of pay.

The bolded portion is key. Most salaried employees (myself included) are considered exempt and are excluded from that.

To be exempt

  1. The employees salary exceeds $455 per workweek
  2. The employee performs duties that satisfy FLSA overtime exemptions


FLSA Exemptions
The Fair Labor Standards Act, or FLSA, outlines specific exemptions that may exclude certain workers from overtime pay regulations. Under section 13(a)(1) of the FLSA, individuals who are employed as bona fide executive, administrative, professional, or outside sales employees qualify for overtime exemptions. It is important to note that job titles alone do not satisfy this requirement; it depends on what duties are performed in the scope of employment. So if an employee works under the title of executive, but does not perform the duties outlined in detail by the FLSA, they are not exempt from overtime pay.
In addition to job duty requirements, there are salary basis requirements that must be met to qualify for the FLSA exemption. The FLSA states that exempt employees must be compensated on a salary basis of not less than $684 per week. Up to 10 percent of this salary basis can be met by bonuses and incentive payments (including commission), which may be paid on a yearly basis.

In any case, why should we be like this is good thing?

Maybe if you're hourly. For those of us who are salary, we're lucky if we get OT approved for that kinda stuff.

So you are being abused and then lashing out against a country addressing such abuses?
Don't defend the status quo. Doing so just hurts yourself. Like punching your own face.

If you work off the clock, it is overtime for salaried employees as well.
https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/overtime

If you worked 40 hours that week and there was an emergency or maintenance, you are legally supposed to be paid overtime.

But of course, a bad employer will make you believe you are not entitled to that and threaten to fire you saying it is not approved.
