I'm in the computer field. I think its time the fed. govt stepped in and
regulated all of this free labor companies are getting. 50, 60, sometimes 70
hour weeks or more. All for the same salary as a 40 hour week. If you refuse
to work over, you get fired. If you take off early, your frowned upon. There
is something seriously wrong with that picture.

I ask you. Why in the F**C should I give my time to a business for free? A
business that, as we all know by the hundreds of thousands of recent
layoffs, couldn't care less about anything but their own pockets. Can you
say Enron, Ford, AA, etc. Why? What have these companies done to deserve
taking a chunk out of my life that doesn't belong to them. They are not
paying for it. They just take it for free.

And, due to the massive layoffs, this epidemic of employees doing the work
of three people is growing. It should not be allowed to continue. Now
companies are even laying off people who have been working 70 hours a week
anyway! Instead of laying them off. They should have just told the employee.
We will let you stay at work 30 hours per week for free, but anything over
that you are not allowed to come in. That's how ridiculous this situation
is. These companies are getting away with corporate robbery!

Anything over 40 hours should be paid for. A good service for a good wage.

CHANGE THE EMPLOYMENT LAWS!!!!

Disclaimer: I know this is better than being out of work as many of you are.
So please hold your flames. But just because something is 'better,' still
doesn't make it right.
