Obama plans to expand overtime eligibility for millions of workers

[Geaux4it]

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

Where's the savings? By not increasing a cost does not equate to a savings. The margin is already factored into the business decision thus, $23,661 it is

-Geaux

The savings come from forcing a low waged worker to work for free while you pocket the profit

Capitalism at its best

Again, where did I miss the mandatory draft into the burger flipping business?

-Geaux

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.

Consumers, not owners, are the real job makers.

lmao......

Go into the inner city's of Detoit or Chicago, plenty of consumers not many places to shop.

Wow....never thought of that one

There are all those CEO positions waiting to be filled

for reals. The libbies just don't get the fact that they, not the government or CEO's, are in control of their own destiny

Personal accountability is a non-starter for the entitled

[Wyatt earp]

God damn you liberals don't have a clue on reality, a small business has a budget on what to pay a salary employee, that's it.

If you want them to pay O.T. they will just put them on hourly at a reduced rate.

Again the employee will just end up with the same pay check as before.

Well except jobs will be cut over it, just like mandatory minimum wage for non career jobs. But I wouldn't expect Obama drones to grasp that.

The same way many full time jobs were cut to under 30 hours over that ACA fraud. Everything this regime touches turns to shit.

As we say, You have no need to know.

That's why you're an employee who works willingly and are free to take your skills and talents to an industry that maximizes your return-Geaux

That's why social market democracy has the government to make employers play fair. The electorate decides what is "fair" through the government. End of story

You just don't understand. Fat Bastardo is right: the hard right is simply inbred stupid. The volume will be increased to make up for that fair money to go to the workers, leading to more hires, leading to profit for the bosses and fair wages for the workers.

Show us how that has happened.

You can't.

The reason we lost to the Dems is because of folks like Bear and Geaux and you.

 

[Wildman]

Geaux, why arguing or even trying to educate these liberfools is a total waste of time, they have their heads with their tiny little brain squeezed tightly in the vise of stupidity.

they simply do not understand why, when auto-workers unions (AND other similar unions) demanded higher wages and got them, consumer goods went up proportionately and sometimes disproportionately, demanding $15.00 an hour min.wage will raise the price of that once upon a time 50 cent cheese burger to $10.00, now a burger with fries and drink, the once "FREE" condiments bring the total to $25.00.

lmao.... How old are you?

Have you even had a job, higher then a burger flipper or operator?

Successful company's has a budget on what a salary job is worth/what the market pays, that's why when I was on salary I got perks and benefits to keep me there and working O.T.

Like a company car, gas card, car insurance, expense account, $10 bucks for breakfast, $20 bucks for lunch, $50 bucks for dinner when I was out on the road.

I didn't have to clock in or clock out, my boss never gave a carp as long as I did my job, for those Seven years working there.

Salaried employees are often abused by employers.

 

[Wildman]

then some liberfool brings up "FAIR", did his libertard education teach this to him (all libertards inclusive).

They work the hours.......Pay them for it

Why do Conservatives hate workers so much? You always complain about people freeloading off the system, this is a case of employers freeloading off of low paid workers and forcing them to work for free

If employers don't want to pay for overtime, then just stop asking employees to work it

 

[JakeStarkey]

bear's blathering makes a good point for government evening the playing field.

I have been a very successful businessman who had no trouble paying top wages and salaries in our field, despite the Chamber of Commerce's whining. The family run business continues to do well.

Take care of the employees and don't worry about having four bathrooms if three at home work just fine. Workers, don't every let the employers freeload off you.

 

[Katzndogz]

What are the details of this ill advised program? There's a good chance that it will hit flex time worker's the hardest. Someone who has negotiated a ten hour, four day workweek is going to either lose the day off or get cut to 30 hours.

Absent an emergency, overtime is a matter of scheduling completely within the control of the employer.

What the hell are you talking about idiot? You lost to dems, because you are in that donkey vs elephant vicious circle. I vote for neither, and I never will.

How what happened exactly? How people lost jobs? Employers cut full time jobs, doubled the amount of part time jobs. Why? To avoid the employer mandate.

And the answer to idiots screaming about $15 an hour to put fucking pickles on a bun?

Your welcome, do your own fucking research next time, if you wanna know something so bad asshole.

Sure, and proper compensation is the purview of the government. Simply don't schedule overtime if you don't want to pay for it.

Chikin is clucking but saying nothing worthwhile.

This is something that was long overdue.
