Going to be honest, as someone who is also gen x, that response is somewhat accurate, but I think the baby boomer would have done it for sure.

[@wjrneo2]

The negative of being a salaried exempt employee is no pay for overtime in exchange for a steady constant paycheck. But you really need to stand your ground because they can and will take advantage of that. Non-Exempt employees can be hourly or salary, but they do track your hours and you are eligible for overtime pay.

[@CrypticCobra]

Not if you are a salaried position that contractually does not get paid by the hour.

[@ultrahotwings9738]

​@@CrypticCobraI was always confused by the whole salaried thing going over 40 hours and not getting paid. The few friends I have who made it to nice salaried jobs all have a thing where if they go over 40 hours, those hours get paid an hourly rate that was determined in the contract. The only company I can think of that didn't do that was my old retail job, but the only salaried employee was the GM.. and usually they worked more than 40 for the health of the store, since better store performance meant better bonus checks (so, I guess, they're sorta compensated for that overtime?). The reason they were salaried was so they didn't count against the store's labor hour allocation that the system gives for scheduling. So, they were essentially not counted by the system as labor (which was fine since they were usually in the office doing admin stuff, and only occasionally helped on register if they needed it).

[@octavionicolini]

[@reubendiazjr.4767]

[@Elemenohpea440]

[@kimberlywoodbury1739]

This happened to GenXers too. There was a time in the 2000s when people felt lucky to have any kind of job and put up with whatever crap to keep it. Employers took advantage of that and people were working 10-12 hours a day, coming in earlier than the boss and leaving later so they would be seen as hard workers, working on weekends, giving up vacations… I’m not sure how young you must be to have missed that time, but most Genxers remember it very well.

[@arcticsong]

This. Most Boomers I know would absolutely work extra for free. They still had the mentality that if they worked hard and were loyal to the company, then they would get benefits long-term like job stability, longevity bonuses, better chance of promotion, etc. My parents are both at the end of the Boomer gen and my Dad would literally plan our family vacations around the company payroll schedule (he was in charge of payroll).

That’s what that generation Of adults/parents HAD to adopt in order to SURVIVE the hardest economic times in the country. Free labor ( for a while of time) in exchange for a meal or a place to sleep etc = literal survival for a particular generation out there & their families = Great Depression era kids WHO became the parents of the BOOMERS It ( the free labor mindset) was literally THEIR era of a “ barter system”.

The possibility of loyal employees working unpaid overtime to benefit the company ended forever when said companies, from the 1980s onwards, indulged in mergers & acquisitions, mass layoffs, asset stripping and stealing pension fund investments. It may technically have been legal, but it was 💯% immoral and adversely changed the work climate forevermore. Now it’s pointless to show any loyalty to your exploitative employer. It is unacceptable to ask anything additional of an employee without an offer of financial compensation. Workers didn’t make these new rules.

I am a state employee. In my state, there are exempt and non-exempt employees. Exempt employees work over 40 hours a week without overtime. Non-exempt employees are to be paid overtime for over 40 hours a week. However, over the past 20 years, I have been told I could take it off sometime during the week. It's always comp time instead of overtime. My supervisor lost her dog, which I am very empathetic to; however, she told me she didn't need to rush home because her dog wasn't there. I was expected to do the same.

The GenX/Boomer response was spot on! Most of my generation can quote labor code verbatim. We have the State Emploment Commission on Speed Dial. We been there, done that. I had an employer write me up for discussing pay rates with fellow employees one time. I just said I needed it in writing. She gleefully handed me the write-up, thinking she had made a power play. Little did she know she typed up a federal offense on corporate letterhead. She wasn't my boss the next week, and all the EEO brochures were freshly updated in the breakroom. I work in Healthcare now, and the same thing happens when companies call demanding medical information on employees who took sick leave. If they get nasty with me, I ask them to fax me their request in writing on corporate letterhead. It's a $50k HIPAA violation. If a GenXer or Boomer demands something in writing, you're screwed. Back away, surrender, and let it go. You've already lost, and they know it. They're not asking for mutual benefit and open communication. They're asking for rope.
