another interesting day in the world of telecommunications as i battle with our HR department in regard to sick pay. it seems that the department of labor rules say you can't not pay salaried (exempt) employees for sick time if in fact you don't pay them OT. imagine that, an employer can't have it both ways. of course do i make an issue of it and get fired in the process or sit and be quiet and take it like a cellmate? hmm, i don't see why the cry for justice has to only involve african AIDS babies that no one cares about. shouldn't justice also include the salaried staff of a company that give their life every day to help someone else achieve their dreams?
