That's not bad. I'll finish my work in 2-2.5 weeks as I work extra anyway.

NP. You're missing the point. The goal is to reduce or eliminate overtime pay. If they move from weekly to monthly it could lead employers to overload busy workweeks with extra-long shifts and then take advantage of slow periods through under-scheduling, which could effectively eliminate overtime altogether.

A person could work two 50 hour weeks followed by two 30 hour weeks. Its 160 hours, but they would lose 20 hours of overtime pay because under the monthly plan overtime would only come in at more than 160 hours a month. That is different from the current policy that pays overtime after more than 40 hours per week.

It also says they want employers to pay overtime rate for any hours worked on the sabbath.

So I'll play the devil's advocate here - how is this "wrong" - it's just a different way of calculating OT for hourly workers. If I were an hourly worker....this would mean during the 30 hr weeks I could plan for doctor appts/errands without needing to take any time off.

Because it's stealing money from workers that they would have gotten otherwise under the current system.

A hypothetical worker making $10 an hour would make $1,700 under the current system working those hours, and only $1,600 under the Project 2025 system working the same hours. Great if you're a wealthy business owner who is trying to increase their own profit at the expense of your workers, not so great for the workers.

It's the same idea as a bank structuring withdrawls and deposits to maximize overdraft fees. If I have $100 in my account, deposit $50, then withdraw $125, I have $25 left in my account. But what if the bank decides to take the withdrawl out first so I go to -$25 before the $50 gets deposited then get hit with a $30 overdraft fee? It's "the same money, just a different way of calculating it" just like you're arguing for, except one screws people over and the other doesn't.

Why are you in favor of screwing people over?

Yes, we know you didn’t write it all down, moron, we just can’t believe you wrote down as much as you did. “Taking notes on a [not criminal, but authoritarian] conspiracy.”

Big surprise

This is nothing more than an attempt at a religious takeover of the USA

The actual deep state is Leonard Leo.

I love it when he accidentally tells the truth. It’s more often now that it happens as his brain slips.

I was just coming to post this! Do any MAGA visitors have an explanation for this statement? Do you think this is okay?

[Anonymous]

Yes, this is their expectation. Of course they think it is okay.

I'm Catholic and I really have an issue with the fact that Opus Dei is Vatican sanctioned.

You wouldnt know ahead of time I assume...it would likely be employer-based not employee-based so for those of us who make appts 6 months out if its a 50 hour week I cant make my appt.

Also this is slippery slope when it comes to worker protections. You also cant arrange childcare or anything else with those changes. Workers would need to pay for childcare above and beyond 40hours plus commuting and then potentially use less than 30 hours on an employer's whims.

Problem solved - they’ll just ban mothers from working
