The usage and subscriber data isn't provided by Musk/X, so I'm not sure what you mean here.

It's amazing how oblivious so many employees are to their own greed. They have convinced themselves that they aren't

How about when you have extra work that week? Do you get paid extra?

Who says this "You're salaried. We're giving you a task to accomplish, rather than hours you need to have your butt in

That's EXACTLY what's implied whenever you have to work extra, unpaid hours.

Sep 20, 12:22pm
"Implied"??? Your work contract with your employer isn't valid because there are implied rules that trump the contract?
HarlemCoug
Sep 20, 12:27pm
The contract doesn't say 40 hours a week. That's the point.

No doubt this exists at some companies. What percent of salaried employees do you think have the same deal?
