Compensation


We work...well, most people....and we get compensated for that work, usually not enough though

For the majority of the regular workforce there are 2 distinct ways in which the employee is compensated, salary or hourly. I myself have only had one position where I was a salaried worker and only worked a little overtime during the 6 months I was employed with that company. All other jobs were hourly with the exception of some construction work which was paid by the piece.

In my current position I am paid hourly while my supervisor...a young know-it-all punk who is literally half my age...is salary. Lately he's been pre-occupied with playing games on his phone And even today, last minute "OH SHIT" moment, he brings out a couple orders to be sent via UPS as the driver is attending the business across the alley. "I didn't realize it was 3:00 already."

Made me think about it, salary vs. hourly. Sure, salary has it perks, you can sit around all day and still get paid. But then again, there are times when he's slammed with work and will have to go in during the weekends too. While being the warehouse grunt I get hourly and even though I never see a full 40 hr. week I doubt I'll get time and a half, which is the way it normally is for hourly workers.

Begs the question, if you had a choice would you choose salary or hourly?

Everyone is on a different plane of intelligence. Some people's plane has not taken off yet!!

I had a couple of salaried positions when I was in my twenties. It's sold to you as a step up- more responsibility, status. attractive business cards with your name on them. In other words, they pay you in bullshit. Which doesn't pay the rent.

I've only had salaried positions and wished they were hourly, while working 60 - 80 hour weeks.

I'd go with hourly. But then everyone I know who worked on salary, when they sat down and actually figured out the hours they worked, made less per hour than the hourly employees.

Plus I love overtime. Though the past 2 weeks I've not had any due to taking vacation time. Most weeks I do.

Yes, I have heard that many times, the hourly breakdown...I'd rather get paid hourly too

Reading talk about hours worked: I once worked 2 full time jobs (70 - 80 hours/week between them). I got paid every other week by both, alternating weeks... so every week a paycheck. But this was before direct deposit so all my bills went unpaid, I was constantly broke, though many $1000's in my pocket due to never making it to the bank.

I'm so very glad direct deposit took off!! Though I'm also very glad I only work one full time job that pays overtime gladly. At least I've averaged over 200 hours OT per year the past 2 years (one as a temp, and one as a real employee). Nobody's yelled at me yet so I keep going.

Well good deal, you're better off in more ways than one, nothing wrong with that!

I've always used direct deposit, much more convenient
