Veronika Just Shut Down the Corporate Salary Scam #gplus #animation #corporate #skits

Zero prestige. Less time with family, stupid hours for less money. Good call Ronny… stay hourly pay

Veronica is funny as hell 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤

Any kind of bonus structure with becoming salaried?

How about asking for the bump to have another 10k?

Just tell her you'd be happy to do it for double your current pay.

If you're expected to work 60 hours a week with this new prestigious position, that's equivalent to 70 hours a week with straight pay when you consider 20 of those 60 hours would be paid at time and half.

Since that's a 75% increase in paid work hours, so you would need to pay me double my current income for it to be considered any kind of raise for the added responsibility and dramatic cut into your personal life.

Shoot if I could work my teaching position for my “hourly” wage comes out to for a 40 hour work week, documenting my real hours, plus donated materials, resources and tools I could retire early🤣

I'll take $27/hr.

A friend who was making $50K working an 8-hour day was very excited about a job offer at $75K until I pointed out that the new job wanted her to work a 12-hour day so she would actually be working for the same hourly rate ... without any overtime. She passed on the job & held out for something better.

Well "prestige" doesn't pay the bills

As an ex-salary worker "60 hours" is the lie

hey veronika...

Omgggg. This lhappened to me. I was a TEMP and they said I could get a permanent job for less money - straight up Less money not even more hours.

I said, "No thanks" 😅

My mom was pretty high up at her last company, and she fought so hard to get her people off salary and back onto hourly, and the employees were upset with her. She had to basically explain to each individual employee how their pay would go up if they were hourly. That whole "prestige" schtick has been pushed so hard for so long people actually believe it. If the salaried position had some guarantees on continued employment or something, maybe, but not in today's job market. Get promoted Monday, get fired Wednesday.

Having a higher pay and working less hours gives you prestige not slaving away for less money

Veronica is just too smart for these people. 😂😂

That's why the IRS and DOL have strict requirements for who can be salaried... though I doubt the current administration will enforce it any longer

As a salaried employee for most of my life also in multiple companies there are ways to get around the extra hours per week. As a salaried I took extra long lunch breaks, went home early 2-3 times a week and came in late with the excuse of seeing a customer a few times a month. Also we were only expected to work 49 hours a week.

That's what I stay away from

Taking a job that was salaried with the promise that the workload and time commitment would be reasonable was one of the worst mistakes I could have made. After I’m done with this current position I’m going to avoid it like the plague.

A company I worked for did this. Making anyone salaried without being actual management is just flat out wrong.

In which third world country is it legal to work regularly for 60 hours a week straight, please?

Is all about ego.

So true Veronica! Preach!

This has been eye-opening.

Prestige? I work for cash, not prestige

Exact reason I left my supervisor position. I told them to put me as hourly. They said not possible so I left.

As a salaried employee in the EU I'm glad I'm not American.

My boss tried that. It would have put me in the next tax bracket and I would have LESS take home pay, even though technically I would be getting paid more per hour.

Can't pay your bills with prestige.

America is nuts

what does veronica do for that kind of money?

Im the only salaried employee ive ever met outside of work who wasnt working 50+ hours a week i thought thats how my gig worked but all overtime is voluntary at my university which i didnt know before taking the job

It can work out, just make sure it's a company that you trust. Look at how current salaried employees are treated. I went from hourly to salaried last year and my company actually cares about employees (it's a mental health agency) so it's been great. Recently my supervisor asked me if I would be willing to stay an hour late one night a week, I got to pick the night, and so I said sure, and her next question was "So where are you cutting that hour from? If you're staying late that night, do you want to come in an hour later or would you rather leave early another night?" But that's definitely the exception, not the rule.

I like the sound of Hey Veronica ❤ My favourite favourite character Veronica giving us all practical real life lessons.

If she is covered under FLSA, she should be entitled to overtime pay past 40 hours. Salary assuming base pay, 85k salary comes to $40.87 per hr. Overtime rate if 1 1/2(some labor union have negotiated x2 as overtime rate), would be $61.31. Multiply by 1040(20 hr ot/wk) is $63,762. So in total $148,762. She just doubled her pay, if negotiated correctly.

I swear I’m just like Veronica ☺️

Annnnd just like that, with Veronika being a US worker in an at-will state, Veronika was suddenly finding herself without a job...

I get it. These videos are supposed to be uplifting and empowering for employees. And the message they are giving isn't wrong... Unfortunately, here, in the US, the corporations hold all the power. The "Prestigious Salaried Position Offer" isn't so much an offer as it just a formality to "We expect you to be salaried and working more hours by next week."

I'm retired. However, I worked as a salaried employee back in the "old days" (1960s) until I retired to become a mom (best job EVER!). If I had to stay at work later, this is how it went...even though I was salaried, I was paid time-and-a-half for overtime AND provided with dinner (I'd call in an order, have it delivered then give the receipt to the Accounting Department for reimbursement) AND after 7:00 pm, no matter whether it was still light out or dark, a car was hired to take me home. Not a cab...a chauffeured car. Corporate America has gone way down hall over the years. I'm glad I'm not out there these days!

What they didn't mention was that, if she works over 40 hours a week as an hourly employee, she'll receive time-and-a-half, BUT, as a salaried employee, she is no longer eligible for overtime.

Reminds me of my job trying to "promote" me to manager. They couldn't remotely match what I was already making in tips, but acted like I should be thrilled for the title alone.

I see how miserable the managers here are, nooooo thank you.

Вероника never did strike me as an upwardly mobile type of employee. You rise to the level of your incompetence. And that is where you stop.

Daaaamn 😊

They always seem to forget that those salaried hour variations are suppose to go both ways so that it evens out to be best for both parties. 😂😂.

60 hrs a week ? LOL. Never ! I work to live, I don't live to work.

Pretty sure prestige doesn't pay any bills. But people keep falling for it.

Doing the math Veronika would actually only be earning a little over $25/hr assuming she was working 60hrs every week(40hrs + 20 OT @ time and a half).

So it would be closer to an $8 paycut by getting that "promotion/raise". Now, if they gave her that raise and she would only need to work 40 hrs/week, then it would definitely be a huge raise/promotion.

I'm doing the math based on Veronika's 3160hrs a year.

Prestige does NOT pay the bills!

As a nurse I've worked as a salaried employee once in my career never again, it never works out to your benefit

HAHAHA!! I LOVE VERONICA, SHE ON TOP OF IT!!! 😊✊🏽😊

I love how every time, the pause and couple extra tap tap tap before Veronika bothers to answer the "heyy...".
