Default Salaried employee == Underpaid slave

Being salaried sucks ass. A static payrate that doesn't depend on how many hours a week I work, let alone the damned overtime I'm putting in during the fucking weekends. Bleh! Hopefully all this hardwork will pay off nicely during my annual review and on my yearly bonus but damn if it doesn't piss me off in the meantime. If only that god damned lotto would call out my numbers....

well.....its better than being paid by peicework like me.....i have a set amount of 10 crowns to do a day.....and i get paid by unit.....and however fast i can do them, the sooner i can i can leave.....good right?

well.....lately w/ the economy being in the suck people havent been going to the dentist lately.....i AVERAGE about 7 units a day now (10 one day, 3 another, etc.) and today i came to work and had 1 stupid unit......that wouldnt even cover the gas it took to bring my ass to work.....(my mom works w/ me, so she took it and sent me home)

luckily i worked ALL weeked saturday and easter sunday w/ my dad installing cabinets at a dentist office (ironic huh?) and he gave me some money

there are ups and downs in every form of WORK......but one thing stays the same.....WE DONT MAKE AS MUCH MONEY AS WE SHOULD, besides the lucky people

i hate lucky people...

Yeah, my overtime got yanked about 6 months ago, anything over 40 just gives me additional hours of paid time off. I miss my OT

Same here except I never have to work weekends unless I want to. If I work on a weekend it's just regular overtime but any holiday work is double time and a half. I do agree though, I am underpaid as well. And having 20% of my paycheck taken for 401K sucks but it will be good in the long run.

I happen to love salary, at least lately. I like a guaranteed paycheck for a certain amount
