Comment on The bosses are never going to just hand workers a 32 hour workweek.

  yes, I am hourly and get paid for my OT. unfortunately not above base hours at 1.5x rate though, that’s only at the legal requirement of over 44 hours. bit of a mistake on the company’s end, there, as it doesn’t encourage OT since if I’m only going to work 46ish hours this week, why even bother since I’m only making 1.5x on two of those extra six hours

  I am always a bit surprised when people ask me that tho lol because like fuck no I would not work for free

      it hasn’t been doubled my whole working career. though to be fair I’m only in my 30s. I am aware of a couple companies that did double time on Sundays, which predictably resulted in employees gaming the system to sit in the office on Sundays and watch Netflix.

      “good” companies around here will pay overtime over your base hours, which is typically 40 hours. the legal minimum is to pay 1.5x regular rate after 44 hours. pretty much every company does the legal minimum of 1.5 times regular rate for overtime

        I’m used to it being morethat overtime was not allowed unless explicitly requested of you. Unapproved overtime was verboten! How times changed.
