Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

"This will increase to $1,128 per week, or $58,656 per year, on January 1, 2025. Employees who earn less than these minimums will lose their exempt status and become eligible for overtime pay."

Hate to break this to you, but employers CAN track EXEMPT employee hours. Most do not, but there is no RULE that employers cannot track your hours. T already spoke to their lawyers and I dont think you can win the lawsuit on this one.

“ This will increase to $1,128 per week, or $58,656 per year, on January 1, 2025. Employees who earn less than these minimums will lose their exempt status and become eligible for overtime pay.

i am guessing top performers already make more than this and will remain exempt”
Check again office workers are classed as professional employees. The minimum comp
is $151,164.

The rule will also increase the total annual compensation requirement for highly compensated employees (who are not entitled to overtime pay under the FLSA if certain requirements are met) from $107,432 per year to $132,964 per year on July 1, 2024, and then set it equal to $151,164 per year on Jan. 1, 2025.

“They changed the terms of employment.”

This is exactly what happened. Looking forward to the exempt employee rule change at the federal level starting in Jan (look it up - probably to best thing Biden did in office). They are going to be scrambling to fix things or they will have to start paying all the office folks OT as we will not be considered exempt any longer. Tracking my hours and treating me like non-exempt, better break out the checkbook because all those after 8hrs in office emails, calls and texts are going to start costing you min 2hrs of OT. Looking forward to finally getting the pay increase that most of us deserve.

You literally just described a standard everyday life.

"They don't care" has been the mantra for the company for years, on every topic. Everything boils down to reducing headcount.

40-50% salary pay cut, move to hub and 8hrs a day in office.

The lazy will quit. The remaining will resent.

Managing the decline of a company.

Thank Goodness Musk and Vivik are going to bring Government Employees back to the office or be fired.

Has everyone heard anything formal? We have nothing yet and depending on which manager you speak to, you'll get a different start date to when the madness starts. Typical the way this company is run.

“They don’t care that you have to pick little Hobart up from daycare by 6 pm
Nor should they.

They changed the terms of employment. Pray it doesn't change any further.
