Eliminating the bloat isn't bad. But that's probably not the goal.

@Dashrender Same scenario. The judge decided that it was improper for the limit to be raised so high.
It was rather high. And why IT is not treated the same as related fields no one knows.
Right, I don't understand why non managers non developers (not sure why devs are included) are considered exempt positions?

Any engineering position should be exempt in theory. The idea of overtime is really only sensible for positions that are time based, like administration.

remind me the reasoning behind that?
That crazy company I mention all the time - West - My friend's team is M-F 8-5. Sometimes they work later, but they aren't expected to be dev'ing outside of work time. Troubleshooting, yes, developing, no.

That they are engineers? They design products, same as any engineer.
Why exempt? Because they are thought workers, white collar professionals. They don't work "by the hour".
