My "job creator" likes to work me a mandatory 12 hour shift, every day.

I guess I should be grateful to at least have a job, but it gets a little old after awhile.

Sometimes I think if my "job creator" were to work me and my coworkers a few less hours there might be room for others to be hired. Those new hires could help stimulate the economy with their new paychecks. But alas, that's not likely to happen anytime soon. You see, my "job creator" has been working people mandatory 12 hour shifts for many years, long before the Bush tax cuts. As far as I can tell, the Bush tax cuts never helped anyone get a job where I work. In fact, I believe you took away all taxes from my "job creator" nothing would change.

This was the mandatory property tax cut enacted by voters in 1978.

The pro-13 side campaigned for the initiative to renters, arguing that if landlords had to pay lower property taxes, they would pass the savings down to renters in the form of lower rents.

Well Prop 13 passed by a big margin, and by all accounts got a lot of votes from lower income renters, who were persuaded by these arguments.

A relative of mine was one of these renters. His rent was raised anyway. His landlord simply pocketed the tax savings for himself. When he asked for his rent to be lowered due to Prop 13, he was told that if he didn't like living there he could leave. Problem is, there was no evidence in his town that any of the apartment owners reduced rents. They chose to pocket the tax savings for themselves.

for doctors...Apart from the fact that most court cases involve

corporations suing each other, it doesn't "lower" the rate

of insurance for doctors, either, except, perhaps, for a short time.

reauthorization for the FAA.

I've worked jobs that weren't physically strenuous with 12s, and I love em. I love knocking out the majority of my 40 week in three days, then having days to chill out.

It's driving, loading and unloading a truck.

No inconvenient DOT regs to worry about.

That's 5 times 12 for a 60 hour mandatory work week.

Sorry to hear that.

I wish we could trade, let me do that a couple times a week to alleviate boredom, you do my job a couple days a week to relax.

create a part-time job for someone else, rather than pay you time and a half for overtime...wouldn't it?

Think of it this way: if two employees work 4 hours at time and a half, the "job creator" gets an extra 8 hours at half price.

make it harder to have the time to find new work.

There are generally no benefits on overtime. No more sick leave, vacation health, insurance, holiday pay, whatever.
Mine come to about $12.00 per hour. If you add the personnel costs of hiring it often costs less per hour to pay overtime.
Twelve hours is too long for any human being to work. I have done it and you might as well not have a life.

That way you don't have to deal with that pesky overtime. That's also why you see a lot of jobs labeled "Account Manager" or "Project Manager" or " Manager" when a lot of them are pretty straight-forward and well-defined.

the requirement is only overtime for more then 40 hours a week. doesn't matter how you get there. there is no 8 hour a day rule.

I have friends who work 10 hours days with the weekend and a weekday off. Arizona rules.

Be grateful to your Creator.

This is an on the clock job.

more employees since they would then allow for greater tax deductions.

But he's hiding behind his LLC so I can't sue.

...we'd be swimming in jobs right now. The Big Lie about tax cuts and jobs has been repeated so often that brainwashed people, even Democrats, actually believe it.

Along with that obvious lie they also believe that it is possible to achieve "victory" in Iraq and/or Afghanistan, that Democrats are responsible for most deficit spending and a host of other sound bite facts that are simply untrue.

My former neighbor works that job, and he gets several days off in a row. I am not sure how many days in a row he has to work that shift, but I guess it comes out to averaging 40 hour weeks.

My current temp job is 4 tens. I prefer it that way, and work these hours by choice. I like having Fridays off so I can avoid the crowds (and my former co-workers) when I run errands.

So u can at least be paid for those hours. I used to work for a major US corporation that demanded 50-60 hours a week. All for a 40 hr week's pay, of course. Comply or be fired. I was lucky to have enough years in to retire, after 10 yrs of that.
