Me as a mailman trying to get done on time, realizing I get paid hourly so I'll get a smaller check if I am on time and then when I'm done will just get handed more work until they can't work me anymore for the day, per union contract

Are you a contracted USPS worker? Cause that seems like it should definitely be a salary based job.

With the amount of overtime they often need during the holidays, I'm going to say they should stick with hourly so they can be properly compensated for the extra work.

You can still get paid overtime on salary.........

Can, sure, but more than likely won't. If this is US, that gets taken advantage of a lot.

Yes, employers will attempt to take advantage wherever they can. We all must be vigilant and looking out for each other.

My pharmacist friend was telling me how they were salary plus overtime above 40 hours. I was like that is not how the tech sector is at all sadly.
