Money Work Situation, What would you do?

First of all, they are saving more than 18/hr, because employees usually cost at least a third to 1/2 their hourly pay in benefits and training expense.

I guess the question I have for you is, what do you gain by going on salary?

I have Nothing to Gain by going on Salary, but they don't want to pay Overtime anymore, so I am sorta being asked to go on it.

I would sorta tell them no thank you. If they ask why, flat out tell them that while you enjoy your position, you don't see how it makes sense to make less working more. If they don't understand that you're better off somewhere else anyways.

They should either adjust accordingly to your duties, or they should leave it alone. Your employer is being greedy right now. Personally, I think if you roll over for them here, it will only be the beginning. JMO.

Ask them what YOU gain by going Salary.. Tell them how much YOU DO FOR THEM, and are being asked to do two jobs at a pay cut.. Sell your self high and then negotiate..

I would ask the average of 5+ dollars an hour raise for doing two peoples job and then accept at 4 dollars.. Hopefully you are in good with the bosses and asking this will be no problem..

Or see if they will give you better benefits without you paying for them or more vacation time for free..

If not, smile take the crummy offer and hopefully within a week or so turn in your two weeks and get a better job..
