Yeah, you have to cross the Int'l dateline to get to us, so we're a day and 3 hours behind. That's why the west coast is so laid back

"just a reminder that not every time you work additional hours you get comped for those hours. We are salaried and it is expected that sometimes we will be required to work more than our normal 45hrs.

1. when the hell did 45 hours become "normal"
2. I'm not working normal days ... I haven't had a full day off in 10 days.

so now the question - well then why do you keep working there?
1) it's fairly steady
2) pay is good
3) i'm too much of a wuss to start my own business :happysad:

Yeah i love it. It's called salary when convenient for them. If you work over, your salary. Try working 35 hrs a week. When they complain tell them your salary, and "it will balance out in the end". Watch how quick they give you the 40 hr a week (HOURLY EMPLOYEE) BS.
