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.

OrsoNero

12:22pm

"Implied"??? Your work contract with your employer isn't valid because there are implied rules that trump the contract?

HarlemCoug

12:27pm

The contract doesn't say 40 hours a week. That's the point.

Your greed seems limitless.

Ayn Rand is wrong. I've never agreed with her.

Exactly. Can’t eat your cake and have it too. There are weeks I work well more

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

Elon Musk himself valued the company at just $4 billion.

What does this have to do with current valuations? Facebook/Meta was valued at $90/share in Nov 22. It's $562 price
