I've seen the results of the so-called free market which just becomes collusion of have vs nots. This battle was fought 100 years ago yet here we go again.

It was going to affect two or three of our workers who work remotely.  One guy was going to get a 10% raise because he travels twice a year.  The rest of the people work from home, and they would have to start punching the clock when they go to doctor's appointments

I mean, I'll still give the guy the raise.  He also makes commission, but commission can only make up 10% of the new salary level, which is lame.  I swear, it seems they're making all of these labor changes with the fast food industry in mind but it's sweeping up a lot of other industries.  I don't have a problem with raising the exempt floor, but jesus, step it up in stages, don't double it with one signature

At the risk of being hyperbolic, the folks who make and pass these laws have never worked a day in the private sector.

Very true.

Same as with criminal law writers....i assume none have ever been bad guys, but am highly confidant theyve ever been in law enforcement either.

Small changes allow the market to adjust with minimal hiccups and virtually no change in the status quo. Large and quickly implemented changes have the potential to really she things up - this is what they want.

So as someone who has to clock in IN SPITE of the fact that I am a salary employee, let me just say: screw that. I may work about 10 hours of overtime a year. The extra $400 bucks (more like 250 after taxes) is probably not worth it. I can see why it would be useful, but the fact that I have to get to work EARLY so I can start my computer and clock in just isn't worth it to me.
