Question for all of you. What is up with (what I believe to be) the misconception of being a salaried employee and being required to work far more than 40 hours per week? My manager recently fed me the line “I shouldn’t need to remind you that you’re a salaried employee now” after I had asked to leave a 4, which might I add is when my scheduled day ends. I’ve heard this before that salaried employees are expected to work past their posted hours, why do employers feel like that is expected of salaried employees? If anything I feel as though someone on a salary shouldn’t work past 40 hours because in all reality they aren’t being paid for beyond 40. Is this just come corporate BS that’s been pushed for years and is now a mentality in and of itself? Let me know what you all think.
