Good thing I'm an intern. I didnt know that was just something they could do though? They dont get paid any more, but they probably get fired otherwise

yeah :( my poor 60 yr old mom is basically forced to do a bunch of unpaid overtime or she loses her job. Pays well, but it sucks. I want her to just retire already

I worked 7 days a week before, but was an hourly employee making a ton of overtime. I don't know what the labor laws are for salaried employees.

I'm guessing it's something like if you don't finish all your work during your normal 40 hours you're expected to finish it on your own time rather than come in and work 8 to 5 on Saturday and Sunday kind of thing

That sounds right to me. Hopefully it's that.

I find it odd the job im going into on paper appears to be salary but its in actuality not as people get overtime pay and lose pay if they call off. I guess its just easier to throw down whats the annual salary in thr hiring process cause it should be what you make provided there is no overtime and you dont call off since the schedule is fixed and they cant just cut your hours.

They probably should get rid of salary jobs at least in some fields i worked at a burger king where we didnt have an assistant manager for over half a year cause no body wanted to step up take on extra responsibility and lose their hourly wage in favor of salary.

One manager basically played assistant manager but was just a regular manager. He just wanted to keep his hourly pay

it sounded to me like they expect fulltime work on both Saturday and Sunday. I guess they're crunching for a new release, keeps getting pushed back though lol

Im a salaried employee but my office hates to give out overtime. So I never works weekends and I doubt they will ever open up on weekends.

My company doesnt want us to work more than 40 hours unless completely necessary. And you can go home early the next day or whenever if you stayed late one day.

Salaried means you better get your shit done or you're fired. They don't care if a week's worth of work takes ten minutes or ten days. Just get it done.

You should consider contracting tbh. Or at least explain that on weekends you're busy cruising for fat guys so you can't work when you interview for a new position

that's what I assumed yeah. But apparently they explicitly want everyone to put in extra weekend time

Is it a crisis situation, or did someone important quit and you need to cover for them? IMO that's just part of being a salaried employee, you have to pull together in the tough times.

contracting sounds ok. I already dont get most benefits as an intern but I'd get paid way more

Also my fat guy cruising days are over did you forget I've settled down?

Just go with some company that deals with contractors first like accountancy company or something to get the taxes done by then

You'll settle down until you see shamu in human form
