[quote:thadividedsky:MV8yMDQyNDU3XzM0MzM1NTg1X0U2RDdDODNC] I must be lucky because all summer long I worked overtime, 10 hours a day plus 8 hours on saturdays so we could catch up. The only way my company will be hurt is if we go back to horse and buggy and bicycles. As long as there are cars, my company will have customers because cars do break down and we supply the replacement parts. I have also been cross trained to work in every department, I don't understand why so many people shy away from being cross trained. The deal with my company is new hires work 37 1/2 hours, are not allowed to do overtime and we don't hire walk-ins. We get temps and the ones who work hard and show up on time every day get hired. I luckily started before the 37 1/2 hour policy was implemented, get 40 hours, vacation, personal days and dibs on overtime. We have a high turn over rate because it's a high paced environment with a lot of heavy lifting and manual labor. [/quote]

It's funny how short sighted people are.
Companies aren't going to pay this bill. They will just lower the hours of employees under the limit so they are exempt from Obama's slacker tax. We will become a part time nation which will probably be the death blow to our economy. 30 hours a week max as an employee. If you want 40 hours a week you'll have to juggle two jobs.
It's gonna be hilarious. As a business owner I am definitely going underground. All my employees are going to 30 hours. Screw it. I'll dissolve my company before I pay that commie shit. And most business owners I know feel the same.
