    I’m glad I don’t work for a company that forces me to go through a security gate, and I’m glad we don’t track hours. I get paid salary, and I rarely work more than 8 hours in a given day, and my average hours worked per week is usually under 40.

    It’s nice you had some protections, but those protections really shouldn’t be necessary.

      You’re lucky. Many people on salary end up working overtime with no pay increase.

      Once again, there are good managers & (far too frequently) bad (Elon loving cockwomble) managers

      Being salaried doesn’t remove you from those protections, at least in Europe. You get overtime, which is either 1.5x pay or you accumulate PTO.

        In the US most salaried positions are not eligible for overtime. Unfortunately, California has yet to close that loophole.

        The next job above me is salaried. If I were to get a promotion, I’d be making about 2/3 of my current income because I would lose all of the hourly protections I have. Despite a higher base pay.
