        One sign we might have a bit of a credit problem on our hands:

        I took a look at my investment loans (obviously I've hinted the past couple of years that I do P2P lending) this morning that defaulted, in my normal due diligence of understanding why they defaulted so I don't make the mistake again. Turns out I ended up making money on one of these loans, and the person effectively defaulted on the interest, though it's reported a certain amount of principal is what remained unpaid, as you pay interest first. I'm not suggesting we go Halal on loans, but I just happened to find it a bit ironic.

            Not that this will even come close to affecting me, but all the salaried jobs I've worked still required time carding in order to address cost centering, even when I've been dedicated to a single project/client and punching 8-8-8-8-8-40 into one bucket every week. All the change will result in, is a bit more work for managers to ensure they have the resources to avoid paying a lot of OT, and perhaps a greater emphasis on availability expectations when working remote (timeliness of email responses, logging into IM applications during business hours, etc.)

            As for shift workers like service desk CSRs, boo freakin' hoo. Those people never should have been exempt to begin with - answering a phone and reading a script is not skilled labor. Making them salaried/exempt employees was one of the tricks a former employer of mine used to screw those folks out of a lot of OT pay (until HR got nervous that someone would finger them to the DoL, and changed that practice).

              When I was in contract work, the time had to be charged to specific contracts, and is probably what you're already describing. In my present line, there is no "time clock". However, like you, the monetary threshold allows for the exemption to continue.

              Aren't most of the service desk CSRs in India now, anyway?

                Some, but not all of them. Some of those jobs came back to the US with all the complaints about pidgin English and thick accents - there are a lot of call centers in sweatshop states (Texas, Utah, northern Florida, etc.) Of the ones that remain offshore, a fair number of them are now in Manila, because they speak much better English.

                    ...but at least they're in the US, cause 'Murica.

                    Actually, there are some clients out there that specifically have clauses placed in their contract that any support MUST be based in the USA, so that's probably where most of it comes from. Also, what's wrong with getting those "red welfare states" off of welfare and actually doing something productive? Isn't that what you've been striving for with your pleas about that?

                                This was long in the making. It's obvious they would want a united front for all current and future legal challenges.
