Salary does not automatically disqualify you from overtime. Unless your position directly relates to making business critical decisions, provides you with hire and fire capability and has you oversee multiple employees you are still entitled to overtime even if you are salary.
Sadly, most all of the tech industry is unaware of such a thing. A technical person in a setting that handles administration and managing of a network despite being salary is usually cheated out of salary OT.

This is another case of people, especially in the IT field laying down and accepting things that are the norm... even if they are illegal in most cases.
You can believe whatever you want, just like reports stating that evidence has been poor on "stress causes cancer". I'm not here to convince you what is true and what is not. That's up to you. Read up, what stress does to your body, physically and mentally and maybe you will understand.No, it doesn't.
Wouldn't you be on a salary?
This has nothing at all to do with the thread but I randomly picked up a 6 pack of the beer your avatar represents and it's one of the best I've ever had.
So, cheers.
Well you'll never know if your job description would have included "+ Overtime" because you walked out on the interview.
Leaves you plenty of time to read up on esoteric employment laws.
I'm Salary + Overtime btw, it's the bees knees.
Two things:
1. "She stated that unfortunately they had two techs leave late the previous week unexpectedly and that he was looking to hire multiple people."
Multiple people don't leave a company unexpectedly. Something is fucked up big time there.
2. Both sides agreed on a interview at 3 p.m. and that's it. He should treat you with the same amount of respect as you do. Even if he has to reschedule the interview to 3:05 p.m., he should talk to you. It's on his/their part to let you know.

Ah, here comes Creepy-GAF with the cyber stalking
BTW what is weird about playing poker?
It's amazing how bad this line of thinking is.
On the flip side, maybe his priority should be obtaining and keeping good techs to handle that work instead of losing employees as he has recently, and treating potentials like they shit before they are even hired.
It's too bad you'll never be able to put any of this "knowledge" to "work" because you can't seem to get off your high horse long enough to get a job.The job did offer overtime on top of the salary according to the job listing.
A previous IT job I worked a year back did not. The owner of the company was under the impression that salary meant any and all overtime he wanted to give me despite the fact I was a glorified geeksquad technician. I consistently worked 50 hour weeks, used my personal cell phone and internet for mostly business related expenses and drove my own car 300+ miles a week while being reimbursed 25$/week in a" gas /stipend expenses reimbursement". I never received any overtime pay despite my position specifically qualifying for OT under the FLSA. One industry you will never find this is in medical. A nurse doing anything other than being a manager of her department cannot be overtime, and in the situation a nurse is salary she is also entitled to overtime pay for anything above 40 hours in a work week.
Educate yourself on this. Stop thinking "omg salary I have to work as much as they want and love it".
edit: It was 25/week not /hr
if you spent half the time that you've spent defending your poor life choices waiting for the interview instead, you might've gotten a job. what a poor use of time.

Thanks? I guess... I mean, like I said above I've already had my compensation changed to +overtime...
Can we shift the focus away from 'esoteric employment laws' though? It's interesting information but doesn't explain why you decided to Segway out of that office on top of your gigantic balls of steel because your future potential boss didn't give you a handy while you were waiting.
Did you just honestly defend unpaid overtime, unpaid on call and not being compensated for unexpected business occurance?
Did you REALLY just defend that?
You walked out of a job interview?
You're not management. You don't get that kind of choice. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
Yep - deal with it.
lmao.
You're right. I am a replaceable peasant. God forbid I have a backbone. Next time I'll cradle the balls, finger the ass and stroke the rod so I can get his companies table scraps thrown my way.
'merica
work more, get paid less while corporations make billions... and LOVE IT.
lmao.

Because this was the end all job and I should be grateful he even wanted to speak to my millennial entitled ass.
When the fuck did americans stop realizing that when you interview for a company you are interviewing them as much as they are you? You have a choice.

If you are so special and don't want scraps go build your own company and stop complaining.
70k is chump change now? Fuck this.
All you had to do was wait. Why are you comparing waiting to cradling someone's balls, fingering their ass, and stroking their rod?lmao.

Why, would you rat him out if he did?I sure hope if he gets any sort of unemployment benefits that none of this makes it way back to them.
You obviously stood up for yourself at some point to get your +overtime. I think you can relate to me more than you are letting on. You aren't naturally this submissive are you?
GAF I've learned my lesson. Will anyone hire me?
I'll gladly let you do whatever you want, you can pay me whatever you want and I'll work 50+ hours and never complain about overtime or work life balance all while being extremely productive.
Please hire me. PM's accepted, willing to move cross country without relocation assistance.
Why, would you rat him out if he did?
I can't relate to you. I've been gainfully employed for 12 years and have worked very hard for every leg up that I've ever received.
Do I have pride? Yes. I express it by doing my job and doing it fucking well. Whether that's managing a quality department or making a god damned burrito or climbing a 300 ft tower with 75 lbs of tolls on my back or waiting for 45 minutes to entreat with an employer with a smile on my face.
The difference between you and me is that I've successfully moved out of my lot in life as the son of a single janitor who worked a minimum wage job to keep a family of four fed while well below the poverty line into a moderately successful job where I don't have to destroy my body or mind and I get compensated enough to buy whatever my family needs. And I did it by doing my fucking job, even when my fucking job was to get a fucking job.
We aren't even close to alike.
at least you're getting called in for interviews. I applied at my school for a very basic entry level position in tech and still haven't heard back yet. My friend who was working there but got a better job put a good word in me for his position before he left. I'm dying over here. I want this job so badly. I don't want to do restaurant work. Would wait hours/days for an interview for this job. goddammit neogaf. what should I do? Should I email HR and ask if the position is still available? Anybody who has ever worked in tech or at a school ,what should I do?

I know how it works, you just seem to have some personal vendetta on the OP.Thats not what I said.
When on unemployment you have to show you tried to get a job. If he went in there and walked out, they could call the office and he could be in a lot of shit.

...Even lower end, 10-15$ hour jobs are out of reach for me as I was turned down as a box handler and truck loader at UPS for this as well.
