Re-asking from the last thread because it was the last post before the thread closed: Are HROD22 and HDR17 both Hillary in those emails and if so why is she using two addresses? Is she using one/device or something because that'd be kinda ironic.

Which is par for the course (that Univision employees can't use) but not something that helps your image when you're running for President partly on bolstering US jobs. If you're one of the drooling horde that's voting for Trump, is this really going to matter to you?

In case you want to relive the pain of the 2000 election recount debacle the Month of Zen (the stream of every Daily Show episode) is talking about the beginning of the recount now. It's worse than you remember. http://www.cc.com/events/month-of-zen/live.html

So there was a brawl at the SC statehouse. Apparently 10 confederacy supporters rolled up in their confederate flag emblazoned trucks, hopped out, and got into it with 30 patriots. It isn't clear who threw the first punch at this time.

The raising of the minimum salary for an overtime exemption is getting very little play lately compared to the incredibly large impact it will have on people once the rules go into effect. Of course companies will probably double down on the evil just in time scheduling practice as a result.

Few people will complain about getting stiffed on overtime pay if they aren't even aware they're entitled to it. Since employers already commit flat-out wage theft on a regular basis, I won't be surprised if it takes repeatedly dragging them to court kicking and screaming to get them to comply with the new OT regulations.

Work just renomalized everyone's salary to a 35 hour work week with an hour lunch, instead of the 40 hour work week with assumed lunch. I can only assume the new overtime regs are related.

scaterry posted:What regulations are these? Updating the minimum amount you have to earn before an employer can make you exempt from overtime pay. Now it is $23k or so and every drat fast food and retail establishment calls as many people as possible a manager so they can make them work 60 hour weeks whole only paying $24k salary. The new minimum is $50400, which brings it back in line with the original regulation adjusted for inflation.

Monkey Fracas posted:Huh, I missed the new overtime regulations as well. No more hiring two people to do the work of three and giving them job titles like "Sub Vice Assistant Shift Managers" or some bullshit, eh? It gets even better: the DOL is looking to clarify that to call someone a manager (and exempt them from overtime if they make more than $50k) they have to spend the majority of their time actually managing. So a "manager" can't be someone who does 20 minutes of shift scheduling a day and works the register for the rest of the time.

When I was working fast food in high school my manager was salaried at $500/week, no benefits. She routinely would work 60+ hours a week
