IBM hits back against over-timers with pay cut

Respone to Bill Fresher

I didn't see any mention that there was greater pay for OT, but 5 to 6 hours does make more sense if it's 1/4 or 1/3 extra.

Until recently, my OT was at standard rate, including weekends! Now I don't get paid for OT at all......

Maths!

Just a note that if the reduction in pay is 15% and the normal working hours is 40, the number of hours required to make up the difference is actually 7 ( 40 / 0.85 - 40 )

Test your liver... with your phone

As usual, utter crap audio power quoted. Power consumption is only 110W, easily 10W will be control circuitry, so the quoted power is 10X actual at least!
