Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL The song 9 to 5 by Dolly Parton is rooted to the 9to5 movement in which secretaries and working women stood up for their rights to be treated equal in the workplace by Minnesotan-Gaming

Yeah… We used to joke that we were “exempt” from overtime

That's not a joke, though. That's literally what "exempt" means.

When we were hourly employees, we got time and a half for any hours over 40 that we worked on a given week.

When we became exempt employees, we joked that we were exempt from getting the overtime pay.

Edit: we were NOT exempt from working overtime
