Two things happened this week that are welcome news: salaried employees making around $58k or less will be due overtime if their hours exceed 40 in a week. It stops organizations from taking advantage of salaried employees in the middle management group.
And then there was the decision to do away with non-compete clauses, meaning employees are free to leave and go and work elsewhere without consequence.
Companies HATE this and are suing to stop it. In so many words, companies are saying their work is so important and so secret that they have to prevent employees from leaving; and rubbing salt in the wound by saying "we don't care about you - only our profit!"
Here's to hoping things continue to tilt in favor of the workers…
