THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION HAS JUST DONE AN EXECUTIVE
ORDER REGARDING OVERTIME PAY FOR SALARIED EMPLOYEES.
SOME SALARIED EMPLOYEES MIGHT KNOW
SOMETIMES YOU WORK WAY
MORE THAN EIGHT HOURS A DAY OR 40 HOURS A WEEK, THEN YOU
DON'T GET COMPENSATED BECAUSE YOU ARE A SALARIED EMPLOYEE.
THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION REALIZED IT IS
A BIG
PROBLEM AND
THEY
HAVE DONE SOMETHING ABOUT IT.[ VIDEO
BUFFERING] LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT BECAUSE IT WAS PRESENTED AS
A CRITICISM.
THAT IS AWESOME.
ARE YOU SAYING WE ARE GOING TO BE LIMITED TO WORKING 40
HOURS A WEEK?
AWESOME.
ARE YOU SAYING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BUMP UP MY SALARY SO I
AM NOT GOING TO BE PROTECTED UNDER THIS?
>>NO, DON'T GIVE ME THAT RAISED.
>> I WON'T TAKE THAT RAISE.
KEEP IN MIND, I WANT THE CUTOFF TO BE HIGHER.
I'M GOING TO KEEP IT REAL, I HATE THE SYSTEM OF YOU ARE
A SALARIED EMPLOYEE SO I AM GOING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU
AND MAKE YOU WORK NONSTOP AND NOT PAY YOU FOR THAT EXTRA WORK.
I THINK ALL EMPLOYEES SHOULD BE COMPENSATED IN SOME WAY IF
THEY ARE WORKING MORE THAN 40 HOURS A WEEK.
YOU LIVE IN A COUNTRY WHERE YOU ARE EXPECTED TO WORK CONSTANTLY.
IT IS DEFINITELY AN AMERICAN THING.
GOES BEYOND THE HOURS HE PUT AT WORK.
THE ROUND-THE-CLOCK EMAILS, CONSTANT TEXT MESSAGES,
THEN THE ANGER WHEN YOU DON'T RESPOND IMMEDIATELY ON A
FUCKING SUNDAY AT NOON.
I LOVE THAT THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION IS LOOKING
AT FOR PEOPLE.
I JUST WISH THE INCREASE THE AMOUNT A LITTLE BIT.
>>IT'S AT LEAST KEPT PARITY WITH WHERE IT WAS IN THE 70S.
THE LAST TIME IT WAS RAISED WAS UNDER FORD.
THE ONE THING I WANT TO SAY, WE TALKED ABOUT HOW THEY MIGHT
LOWER PEOPLES HOURS SO THAT THEY SLIP UNDER THE Dot IT COULD
HAPPEN, BUT WE ALSO HEARD THAT EXACT SAME THING WHEN OBAMA
CARE WAS BEING PROPOSED.
THEY SAID THEY WOULD MAKE PEOPLE ALL PART-TIME SO THEY DON'T
HAVE TO GIVE THEM OBAMA CARE BENEFITS.
REPORTS HAVE COME OUT AND SAID THAT IT DID NOT ACTUALLY
MATERIALIZE DOT IT MAKES SENSE, BUT THEY DIDN'T ACTUALLY DO IT.
THAT SAME ARGUMENT IS BEING MADE BY REPUBLICANS WERE TRYING
TO STOP YOU FROM GETTING PAID OVERTIME.
>> HERE'S ANOTHER CRITICISM
I LOVE.
THIS
IS GOOD NEWS ALL AROUND.
DON'T LISTEN TO THE CRITICS.
THIS IS AN EFFORT TO PROTECT EMPLOYEES AND MAKE SURE
THEY ARE NOT TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF.
>> BY THE WAY, OBAMA DESERVES TONS OF CRITICISM FOR A LOT
OF THE THINGS HE HAS DONE AND NOT DONE.
THIS IS A GOOD CHANGE.
A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO WE HAD NEW METHANE RULES COME OUT OF
THE EPA.
THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT DON'T GET PEOPLE FIRED UP, BUT
THEY CHANGE PEOPLE'S LIVES FOR THE BETTER.
THIS IS ANOTHER GOOD THING.
EVEN OBAMA WAS A WEAK SAUCE DEMOCRAT IT TURNS OUT GOOD THINGS HAPPENED.
