I stated that today’s workers have superior working conditions to those workers of decades past, both physically (due to technology) and superior work-life balance (due to worker-friendly laws passed in the last 20 years).
The vast majority of workers in the United States (including 85-90% of all government workers) are “hourly workers.” That is why we have the FLSA.
FSD, if you and your colleagues choose to be salaried or “salaried” is customary for your profession, far be it from me to judge that. But just know that you went into your “salaried profession” or “company who only pays on salary” with your eyes wide open.[/quote]
I was paraphrasing “lazy” wrt comments about sitting on their asses.
I have to completely disagree with you regarding work-life balance. Your comment may be true in the government or hourly sector as you’ve defined it.
But in the world I live in, there is no real way to have work life balance because the technologies and expectations have blurred the distinction between work and life. They are no longer on opposite ends of some fulcrum that labor laws move to the left or right to balance.
