'Dirty Girls'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
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!
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.
(Bitter? Moi?)
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.
Wait--does that mean you've got solid job offers and you're trying to decide between them?
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

Over 40 is what I meant by 41. (I may get paid by the 1/4-hour, but I'm not 100% sure. I haven't yet worked enough hours to know.)
You mean you don't actually get paid, even straight time, for hours worked over 35?
Nope. 0-40 hours is salaried, even though with lunch my workweek is really only 35 hours long. (Only not really, because I eat lunch at my desk, where the internet is, which means I end up working through at least half of it.)

Oh, OK.
