Obama plans to expand overtime eligibility for millions of workers

[Defiant1]

There is nothing socialist about the change.

Geaux has an extremely limited vocabulary and understanding.

In a consumer economy, the more money the working consumers have to spend, everyone, including owners, are better off.

You've never heard of 'passing on the cost to the consumer' I take it

That's why you're a liberal with a limited understanding of economics

-Geaux

The cost of paying a fair wage? Paying for overtime is a fair wage

Yes, that is how it is supposed to be

Let's do the math...

If as lefty Jake retorts, paying employee 'A' more money equates to more cash flow into the machine. Say you made an extra $1/hr for an hour OT, so now that you have the extra cash, you decide to go get that Bacon Burger you might not have purchased before the OT.

But wait, I just raised the cost of said burger $1.25.

See what I did there? The LIV thinks he is getting ahead but in actuality, he's just as stupid as he was when Barney Frank set him up to take a loan he couldn't afford to buy that dream home.

In summary, Employee 'A' purchased a burger that was still cost prohibitive even with the OT

-Geaux

OK lets do the math:

Calling a $23,661 burger flipper a "manager" means you can force him to work overtime and weekends at no pay.

With the money you save on wages, do you:

a. charge less for your burgers
b. keep the extra profit

There is no such thing as extra profit.

Get your head out of Obama's ass and tell us again how you're a Republican.

Personal attacks are admissions of personal defeat. And, yes, we will buy weapons from you again whenever we want. That's not debatable.

You wouldn't know a personal attack if it slapped you upside the head.

You don't have the balls to come to my store.

that dumb ass still don't believe you does he?

He's an idiot and don't know shit about business.

Far more than you, and as far as believing Lonestar, I know he can't back up what he says. Fact.

True but it will happen a lot quicker.

Just do the math. A 6 axis robot used to cost 250 grand 20 years ago, now you can get them New under 50 grand.

Remember a V.C.R. used to cost $500 bucks in 1983 , now you can get a DVD player for under $20 bucks today.

The more you push for a higher labor rate the more technology excels to replace labor.

The technology is there regardless of the labor rate

If workers agree to a $5 an hour wage, those machines will still come in
Customers like them, management likes them

You really don't understand free markets and economics. They might normally bring one or 2 in. Just like grocery stores using self checkouts. But when demands are made for unreasonable wages for summer HS jobs. Watch how many they put in the fast food places.

Screw fast food
I want one when I sit down at a full service restaurant. Why wait for a waitress, if I already know what I want. Why wait for someone to give me a bill? Why can't I pay directly from the table. It doesn't take a $50,000 6 axis robot, it takes a $400 tablet at each table or smartphone

Threatening low paid workers that technology will take their jobs if they don't agree to work for less is bullshit. That technology is already here and will come regardless

Go learn economics, and come back and debate me.

Says the fast food worker.

Yeah because you know me, you fucking dolt.

That's how it works to move up.

Hard to believe how you have sold out...If I am a good boy, management will take care of me

You work for compensation. If you work the time, you deserve to be compensated for it. It is not the workers responsibility to give free labor to ensure the company makes a profit

Sure is

Get employees to work for free...that is extra profit

That machine won't replace workers, your smartphone will
Load an app, pull up your order, pay
all from your car and the order will be waiting when you get there

This technology will happen if you pay $15 an hour or $3 an hour

True but it will happen a lot quicker.

Btw nobody goes to McDonalds and sits down to order.

Your willingness to openly display your ignorance is charming. Most would be reluctant to be so open about how little they know

Technology and a changing workplace are expected in business. It is not your lowest paid employee who is driving your decision to incorporate technology, it is your competitors and your customers

I know the pawn shops around SC, I go into them all the time to buy tools and what other cheap stuff they have, on many occasions I have witnessed some idiot trying to buy a hand gun or rifle and the owner turning them down, even though they were legal.

I believe lone star, The gun shops try to police themselves for legal matters and bad P.R.

RW, not much of us is born with a golden spoon in our mouths, we take the shit jobs, work our ass off and we are paid back with our references from our past bosses.

That's how it works to move up.

Hard to believe how you have sold out...If I am a good boy, management will take care of me

You work for compensation. If you work the time, you deserve to be compensated for it. It is not the workers responsibility to give free labor to ensure the company makes a profit

Lmao .....

Sold out?

I go to work everyday that my boss fears me from quitting, management won't touch me and the stupid rules they make for everyone else.

I earned it, I can do any job in this place, my benefit now is I am untouchable.

I know more then they do.

You negotiate your contract when you hire in. You should know what the pay rate is and how it works.

Some people choose jobs based on other things besides how much the pay rate is. I was offered a big pay increase to move to another company, I politely declined because I like the location where I'm at and I like the people that I work for and who work for me. Not everyone is as greedy as you libturds.

 

[Kosh]

the proposal would more than double the maximum income a salaried worker can earn and still be eligible for overtime pay to $50,440, or $970 a week. The current threshold is $23,660.

Once again management has been abusing the rules and claiming that those that earn $23,661 are "managers" an ineligible for overtime

So now will the far left in Congress take overtime pay for doing nothing?

 

[TyroneSlothrop]

 

[Kosh]

The far left does not consider contributions to 401K's or paying for 75% of the medical premiums as a part of the pay, or any other programs in place that is a part of working for said company.

Most that get salary management positions knows that it is a 60 hour a week job. 10 of those hours can be spent in the community..

 

[Sun Devil 92]

In the end, this is just another far left (not liberal...there is a big difference) effort to demonstrate they know what's better.

There is an issue.

As usual, their solutions are pretty screwed up.
