See I'm salary but I'm forced to put in 8 hrs a day. Even if I have no work to do. It sucks.

That's horrible. What's the point of salary if you have an hourly requirement? That sounds like fake hourly.

The point of Salary is so they don't have to pay for overtime. The slave labor is the purpose, forcing people to work more than 8 is just a nice little cherry on top ☺️.

Boom shakalaka. He shoots he scores.

This is the answer. I worked for a company before the law changed where “managers have to work 60 hours a week”. You know why? Because those last 20 hours made them half of what they would have had to pay someone else. Somehow people fell for it though. “It’s a guaranteed paycheck if I git sick. It’ll work out, won’t it?”

Nope.

It ain’t for you boo boo.

Having a one way street that can only work for them seems like some serious bullshit. I'm glad we don't track our time where I work. If I had mandatory hours I'd insist on hourly rates.
