     They literally get that back in equal measure. While a salaried empl,oyee doesnt have fixed hours or an hourly rate, and may be expected to work extra hours for free, they also get paid time off. When they take a day or even a whole month off they still get their full pay. It works both ways.

     @scott_guertin @georgetakei @freemo Salaried employees have some very specific legal requirements that they have to accept, anything beyond that is foolishly giving away one's life to an employer that will never return such a favor.

     @freemo @georgetakei That doesn't mean that they're obligated to have some sort of greater commitment to their job outside of their assigned duties.

     Company loyalty is for suckers.

     @freemo @georgetakei Nah, it's valid no matter what kind of worker they are. The idea that we should be emotionally loyal to employers is patently absurd.

     Salaried employees are expected to make a fix amount no matter how much they are paid. That is the bargain.

     @freemo Maybe that's the norm where you are, but in many places a salaried worker is supposed to have regulated working hours and paid overtime at a rate higher than regular hours.

     @JRFreeman What motivates seeing a thing you enjoy, then reposting that thing for others to enjoy, I wonder.

     I don't hang on reddit, it's the first time I see this screenshot.

     This Quora post is years old. It gets reposted on Reddit constantly. It's been getting reposted here recently. Now you're reposting it. I don't get it. Mastodon doesn't have karma. What motivates this pattern of only reposting mass-appealing content from other sites?

     And there is still no "commitment" outside normal working hours, it's a discussion "ok, sorry, we're gonna need to do this thing on a Saturday morning, who's in?"

     The way the Quora poster phrased it, it sounds like they're paying for 40 hours and hoping for 50.
