I am MADE to work upwards of 60+ hours a week because the company I work for doesn't want to hire anyone . When someone is sick, we work overtime, when we have a big project we work overtime, when someone quits or retires, we work overtime,we're told if we don't want to work the overtime they will "outsource" the work to contractors. Now it looks like the Government might take away my overtime pay too.

It looks like an attemt to "create" more jobs. If they want to create more jobs, get rid of NAFTA, and tax the hell out of the incoming goods. Make the companies that have left the country want to come back.

My co has me by the *****. They pay me by the mile (only by the hr if I break down), so it's not unusual to have 70 hrs on the clock in a week. But, I think for most the incentive is to get the OT pay to make up for the crappy wages.

If you're happy with what you see, make sure Bush gets your vote I know who's getting my vote.

 

Overtime sucks if you are salary. I am hourly however and I love the overtime. I can usually squeeze about 15-20 hours a week. Means more money for my ride.
