[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work for a massive multinational corp and several years ago, they went through a huge reclassification process moving people from exempt to non-exempt/hourly because they were found to be misclassifying people across the board.  This is not at all uncommon, misclassifying people as exempt when they don't meet the standards for exempt is probably one of the most common violations out there for labor law.  However, as you've stated OP, pushing the issue is a very risky move.

What I would do, if I were the employee, is look for a new job as hard as I can and in the meantime, be a clock watcher as much as the boss is.  You want me to never leave a second before 6?  Fine but I'm also never leaving a second after 6.  Oh there's more work to be done in the evening?  Suck my butt, I'm out.  [/quote]

My boss is like this and this is literally what I do.[/quote]

Yep!

This is how EVERYONE should be.  Do NOT treat your employer with more respect and regard they give you.  This is a business arrangement, this ain't family.  They give you sh*t if you take an extra five minutes at lunch one day for no other reason than they were clock watching on you?  Then you never come back to your desk until your entire lunch period is over.

So many American workers are still operating as if this is the 50s where everyone thought you could work for the same employer forever and have a good relationship with them.  Those days are dead and gone, you are nothing but a replaceable cog to them, you need to treat them the same way.  [/quote]
