Solution... don't accept salary for certain jobs/wages

You're all heart.

 

[Guitar's Cry]

Those Democrats, never doing things for the working folks...

Gee, I guess the courts take a dim view when you don't follow the law and stuff.

Yep. Most salaried people are management anyways alteady making good money. Not like workers who are woefully underpaid in comparison to their management.

Anyways the distinction between salary and hourly is pretty straightforward. It's been like this as far as I can remember.

How many blue collar working folks do you know of who are on salary?

Salaried managers get taken advantage of too. One I worked close with, he was the top manager in the field but his salaried pay as much as he worked came out to less than minimum wage.
We need less exploitation, not more and continuing what's going on.

They are most certainly out there. I've worked with them. There's lots of them.

Trump knows first hand. Of course you MAGAs have decided to get him off so he can evade accountability.

The reality, as someone who was a salaried manager for most of his life, is that managers often work more hours, are on-call for more hours, are expected to handle emergencies after-hours and weekends, which really does reduce their pay -- measured on an hourly basis -- to close to their hourly staff. And sadly often without the freedom to just escape and not be bothered for 16 hours a day, and weekends.

There are often perks that make up for some of that, but it shouldn't be forgotten that managers also take on the responsibility for what their teams do -- it is they who have to answer to the E-suite, without blaming it on their workers. That gets shouted down in the boardroom before anything.

I have never claimed to be a member of the Make America Great Again movement. Therefore you have no right to call me one.

Just all your words.

But are you trying to tell us you voted for Kamala Harris?

I'm not trying to tell you anything. It is quite apparent you live in a world of your own and make things up in your own mind.

what planet do you live on? Social workers, therapists, teachers, nurses are all salaried positions and do not make good money by anyone's standard

What do you consider good money?

For example the average base salary for a RN is $44.15 per hour, $94,000+ per year.

I don't agree at all. You make it sound like those people are just barely scraping by.

Just who's standards are you using? Pakistan?

@Argentbear must think that level of pay is a pittance.

I made $20,000 a year before taxes working full time in mental health. Teachers also often don't make enough on just teaching.

Yeah. When I worked at an Arbys and the gas station shift manager were paid and hourly wage and if a manger or an extra one was needed you absolutely do not call them in but the salaried assistant manager or store manager. It's exploitation and expecting more work for less pay.
