What’s your stance on pre-shift meetings? I’ve had some that were quick and inspiring but most are 30-minute lectures about sales numbers and “enthusiasm.” The best ones made me feel ready for the night; the worst just killed my energy before I even clocked in. A little structure is great, but not when it turns into a corporate TED Talk.

If it’s longer than five minutes, it’s just management pretending they’re running a Fortune 500 company. Let us work.

I don’t mind pre-shift meetings if they’re short and sweet. 30 min? No way!

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
