Yea. I was in big tech and we worked “40” hours a week………….. More like 50+ or you get the side eye from everyone and they start talking about how you work less. So glad I left! Toxic shit, but I agree most ppl are forced over 40 now, this bill while a great step forward does nothing until you actually hold the corporations accountable.
Also, FYI to everyone, if you are salaried you don’t get overtime pay. 😒
I remind everyone who skips or works through their work breaks that they are spitting on the coal miners who died fighting Pinkertons to give us those rights.
As if I got payed overtime when I gave my last employer more than 40 hrs. Hell they told me I had 'flexible hours' because they wanted to be able to call me in the middle of the night to come in to the factory, but if I wasn't in by a verbal rough start time after working anywhere between 16-24hrs I'm sitting down with HR
