Exempt from overtime = managers.

Non-exempt from overtime = peons (who get overtime).

I've only once been a manager, always been exempt. That seems like an artifact of a previous definition, and no longer generally applicable, at least in my employment areas.

Thanks! I always mix it up.

I'd get three weeks vacation, bumping to four after two years. After twenty years it goes to five. duuude.

That's because you're a computer person. Employers get to treat them "special". Managers are just one category of people generally considered exempt.

Morning, All.

Trudy, those sound like good bennies. Yay!

Also, Hi, Stephanie and Family! Yay for being almost home!

I'm at work now. Yay!

(Apparently I am full of yays today. Money can do that to you.)

ION, I sent an e-mail to the director of the Center I work at asking for some help with Operational Definitions for my independent study project. Apparently, EVERYONE in the Center knows I sent that e-mail, and I'm a little embarrassed. He doesn't check his own e-mail, and yada yada yada.

My understanding is that "exempt" is short for "exempt from overtime." There's nothing in the definition of the term that indicates why this would be so (i.e. "because one is a manager.")

Managerialness is sufficient for exemptness, but not necessary.

Good benes are very important.

Just got into work in the last 45 minutes cause I was PTing it this morning. I feel as if we might conquer this thing.

But I am going to file an official complaint if there is Intelligent Design because intercostal muscles don't fix easily and are way too easily sent to FUBAR status. If there is evolution, well we threw the dice and this is what we got.

They are good benes, I just need the other offer set so I can decide.

grrrrrr

I've told everyone I'll make a decision by Monday lunch time.

Wait--does that mean you've got solid job offers and you're trying to decide between them?

pre-emptive Yay!
