Presumably people need to make childcare arrangements? Why should they be uncompensated for their time? Makes no sense. People are at their jobs to get paid, not to make financial sacrifices to allow some people a chance to party.

So you are suggesting that all employees are entitled to 16 hours of comp time per day? Good luck with that, and your imminent lack of employment.

I’m a tenured fed. Literally not possible to lack employment. My agency would approve comp time for travel to this location, and then if in the U.S, overtime for the days that exceeded eight hours.

No one needs a three day offsite. But if you do, you need to be able to pay for it, including compensation for the staff hours.

+1 exempt employee doesn't mean 24/7 availability.

Exempt employees are not paid based on a 40 hour week.

So if they get work done, it’s fine to blow out at 20 hours? I’ve never been in a work place where I’m a salaried employee but can openly work part time.

They only created the role of exempt employees to avoid paying overtime. It’s a magic wand “you are a special employee”, to make them feel better about being over worked.

You know how my employer makes me feel special? Money.

Exactly. Exempt means the job gets done no matter the hours but employers still expect minimum 40.

We give one day of comp time per weekend day or holiday worked. No comp time for weeknights worked, but we do have flexible schedules.

No not true at all.

Exactly. Minimum 40 hours, what a scam!

This reminds me of a time when I worked at a childcare facility and the owner required us to partake in cpr training but refused to pay us for the time. She said she was paying for the cpr session and wouldn’t pay us in addition because she was already covering that expense. I assume that was not legal but I was too young and afraid to speak up then

And this is why bosses don’t feel like doing things.

I stopped staff lunches where I take them to a restaurant as some in the clock people considered it a “working lunch” and left early those days as “skipped lunch”

I had an off the clock worker I verbally mentioned at year end review he needs to participate more in work activities and not just do job and run out the door.

I did a quarterly lunch during work houses at a restaurant staff picked and I paid out of my cost center and we had a holiday party. He showed up four lunches, went to holiday party with wife and stayed 60 minutes and left.

His review put down attending 4 lunch’s and showing up holiday party as an accomplishment in his formal review and put it as one of his justifications to be promoted.

One guy recently asked to attend a conference in Vegas that barely related to work I initially said yes. I would pay. Then he wants comp time for travel! I was like did I an only letting you go as a favor.

You’re really a very bad boss. You gave feedback he needed to attend work functions, so he did and he documented. What is your problem there?

A lunch they have to go to? Regardless of who pays? Is a working lunch. No one on your team is starving and a $25 entree isn’t a huge perk, nor is time with you, if this is indicative of your personality.

A working lunch we work. One lunch was The Palm Steakhouse and zero work done. And literally 100 feet from building.

One guy joked it be easier to move the Palm Steakhouse to his cube than to get him to go. He got put in PIP.

My all time favorite of all time we had people from our Germany subsidiary visiting I said we leave office at 4pm early dinner. He comes. We eat, it is around 529 pm and about to order desert he goes excuse me it is 530 on the end of my working day and left.

12 of us was just staring. Kids.

Staff are scammers. I got a new one the other day. 1/2 my team commutes to work around on average 90 minutes a day every day. One guy lives 2 miles from office or a 4 minute commute.

We have to go to other location for one day around a 90 minute round trip commute. The guy asked about mileage. Yea technically he can put in. Does. Ot matter I drive that distance 52 weeks a year for no added money.

I am also not used to staff who hates their co-workers or being at work.

When I was 28 we all go to happy hour next door together. I say 1/3 of dept went but it rotated. It was out bar. We also ate lunch together 99 percent of time. We liked each other and the company.

But amazing that last year my CEO said to take out staff to lunch at year end let workers decide and I go and pay is torture is insane. My staff picked Capital Grill their pick. I T&E and one person acted liked it was torture.

The same person the next month the CEO to be nice doing a dessert 🧁 thing. She meet various departments to say hi 15 minutes. We order some nice deserts, mock tails and we chit chats for 15 minutes. She disappeared. And of course the very next week she brings up career advancement. Which means I need CEO approval from person she just blew off.

I am still doing nice things just painful. Also sad the actual staff won’t even eat lunch with each other.

they quit and I don’t even notice anymore. Why I have zero connection. I don’t know a thing about then and they don’t put in a second extra work,

And anything nice they complain about. But why?

I just don’t buy that you’re a manager of lots of people when your writing style is semi-illiterate at best.
