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.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
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!

What is even happening?
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.")
Right, and what it really means sadly, is except from overtime pay, and not so much with the exempt from working insane hours. At least at my (non-managerial; non-IT) exempt job.

I'm non-exempt (currently), but because our standard workweek is 35 hours, and I don't get overtime until 41, even staying late an hour every day wouldn't actually get me paid more.

Is that local employment law, Jessica? Wisconsin used to be like that ages ago. Nowadays, anything over 40, even a minute, gets paid.

You mean you don't actually get paid, even straight time, for hours worked over 35?
Eek.

No, I'm still waiting on one offer. The agency has never seen them be this slow (with a yes or a no) so we're assuming there is some delay with someone being out sick or something... and since that wouldn't preclude a 'no' we're thinking its a yes. grrrrrrrrr
