Checking your email from home doesn't count as working....what a load of shit. People just want everyone to think they work harder than everyone else. Life is so tough.

I love reading a thread where every hondo post is hidden due to low rating.

Prior to obamacare, I had rarely, if ever, heard of a 29.5 hour work week. How about you? Today, they are quite common. But I'm sure it's just a coincidence.Citrus4Troogs said:
A employer who doesn't understand the law? An employer may consider an individual to be a seasonal employee if:HuskyInAZ said:Albeit anecdotal evidence, my son is currently employed by a civil engineering company here in AZ on a summer internship.

•The typical length of employment for the position is 6 months or less, and
•The period of employment begins at approximately the same time each year.
Seasonal employees may not need to be treated as full-timers even if they will work 30+ hours of service per week during the season. Employers can set up measurement periods which can be as long as 12 consecutive months (i.e. longer than the season) to track hours. By doing so, many employers can avoid having to offer healthcare coverage after 90 days of service to seasonal workers who work 30+ hours of service per week.
Anecdotally speaking, an overwhelming majority of those that employers of skilled workers such as civil engineers provide some sort of basic medical benefits to their FT staff anyway, so limiting seasonal staff do 29.5 hours sounds like either a complete misunderstanding of obamacare or using it as some sort of excuse.
As for the law, many professional employers, including my son's engineering company, hire interns throughout the year, therefore, not seasonal. -
What happened to the unpaid intern scenario? I'd say we've taken a giant step forward, as when I was coming up, "intern" meant "free labor".HuskyInAZ said:

I rarely agree with pawz but those do appear to be facts.pawz said:
I just did. To recap: You are a) that fucking dumb and b) are steadfast on a forum where you relentlessly get lit up.2001400ex said:
Lol post some actual facts then pop off.pawz said:
Its egregiousness is why I'm convinced he has to be a paid political troll. I can't imagine that someone would be both a) that fucking dumb and b) that steadfast on a forum where he relentlessly gets lit-up, if not by the minute.CuntWaffle said:
People show you evidence pretty much every time you ask for it. Then once you get fucking destroyed that way you just pretend you never saw it, go "that's your source?", or interpret it in some retarded way that makes no sense to try and support your delusional stances.2001400ex said:
Show me evidence that the workforce has transitioned from full time to part time the last two years as a result of obamacare.HuskyInAZ said:How about removing the Obamacare punishment for employing people full time. Move the 29.5ers to full time, and we may be headed in the right direction. But then again, the 29.5 hour work week is a right wing lie, right?
You are seriously the fucking stupidest person I have ever come across.
I think its time DJ (ILTCHDJ, IWILTD) closes the fucking gates on paid political operatives.
Those are the 2 data-points, I just drew the line. -
It still does if it has anything to do with something desiring, I guess you're not around that2001400ex said:

Does it matter?
This is just stage one in moving America to a one payer system.
Before long there will be 3 maybe 5 major hospital IDN's.
Along with these integrations will come insurance and pharmaceutical consolidation.
Once it is down to just a handful, the government will ratchet up fees on small to medium businesses, who will find it less expensive and easier to move people to government ran "exchanges".
These "exchanges" will get larger, making a more logical move into a single payer system. -

If you're working that much and getting paid based on a 40 hour salary you either suck at your job (and life), or your company is Mr. Hands and you're Kenneth Pinyan. Time to grow up and take responsibility for yourself.sarktastic said:I don't know a single non-governmental full time employee or business owner working less than 50hour weeks right now... other than Damone who is making twice the money with half the effort... and of course the investors who forgot to schedule a return trip with Ozone from the deep Alaskan bush.
If you are a salaried manager in a non-sales role, you are working more than 40 hours per week in about 80% plus of mid-sized to large organizations. Bonuses are usually to be had for productivity but to think that managers aren't working more than 40 hours per week is naïve.
