And once again, you live in a different world than the rest of us do. Here in the real world, if you aren’t putting in the same amount of free overtime as your co-worker, then you will be replaced with someone who will.
If you agree to pay someone for eight hours and they donate 10 you should only have to pay them for eight. An employee doing what you are proposing is the equivalent of what was known in the phone industry as “slamming”. That was when the service provider added on a bunch of unwanted services and tried to force the customer into paying for them.
In which case, they should be allowed to go home after the 8 hours is up, instead of being required to stay for another two hours for which they will not get paid.
Most of the foremen I know would be thrilled to get 8 hours a day out of their staff.
yeah, duhh.
Requiring hourly classified workers to work off the clock is a federal felony, and rightfully so. If a worker is not on the clock when injured on the job there is no way to prove work caused that injury.
I out perform while on the clock. Work’s time is work’s time. My time is my time. Because of my upbringing ,I live a very scheduled non spontainious life. No one but no one dare throw a money wrench into my schedule.yeah, duhh.
No one is advocating forced labor that is not compensated.
What I have been advocating is that out performing your peers is a good way to get noticed and promoted. It is also a good way to get experience outside your normal work area.
If that has worked for you, keep it up.
I don’t have a problem with it. Of course just like the rest of us, he’s not likely to get it, regardless of how well he did. But yeah he’s got an argument. Course I had in mind those who are having a problem making ends meet.
No, but she does have the right ask for better pay, and honestly waitresses really should be paid more. That whole pay them less because they get tips thing is a cop out.
Oh it happens, and layoffs usually have more to do with current salary or seniority. To be honest I’ve never even heard of layoffs based on merit, and every company, other than my current one has had layoffs.
What you were suggesting is that people should work for free in order to “earn” a promotion. People should be able to earn promotions without selling themselves into the slave labour market.yeah, duhh.

Thanks to Obama and income taxes I don’t get paid for about 30% of the work I do. Do you agree that that is slavery also?
Thats a fair coparison, if you also incluse you state’s and city’s income tax too. Lets be fair here and not pick on one party involved.
More like “feudalism.” Although, to be fair, the feudal lords only demanded 10% of income in taxes. I don’t mind paying taxes when I am getting a return on investment (homeless people are not cluttering up my yard; they are safely taken care of indoors someplace safe; the roads are clean and paved, and the nice policeman is taking prowlers away before they have a chance to menace anyone’s property or persons) but when I’m paying taxes and stepping over homeless people, and the roads need work, and there’s crime in my community, then I perceive a problem, for sure. A different problem than the problem of employees never receiving any wages at all (nor having to pay any taxes on them, either, one would hope.)
