Exactly.

As an hourly worker your are paid for your time working.

As a salary worker you are paid to complete assigned tasks.

When I managed technical professionals I actively encouraged people to go home when they finished everything they could in their project queue. I'd rather promote incentive to get the work done sooner rather than drag it out to make sure they looked busy for 40hr a week. I once had a manager of hourly people complain to me about my people leaving. I asked if they could cite a recent failure to deliver, they couldn't. Likewise, when shit hit the fan, I fully expected my people to come in early, stay late, and work across hourly employee shift schedules until the problems were resolved.

I also think that good professional salary workers never really stop working. I've had some great work ideas at 9:00 PM in the shower.

Yeah I am not sure how a senior supervisor is still hourly. A line lead, sure. A true supervisor of hourly workers has a large portion of their work in administrative tasks (setting schedules, checking attendance, etc) and may even have a role in hiring and firing (though usually that is a manager and a director still has to sign the paperwork).

People always think about overtime with hourly...but they dont think about getting their hours cut. They also dont think about the fact that when you are salary you should be able to give and take...people, go the hell home when you dont have work to do and stop distracting people that do have work to do unless its to ask them if you can pick up some work to help them.

Papa Pow just cooking up the biggest green bullcock of all time.

Fact is, with USD gaining so much strength, international purchasing power has remained or even gone up. Truth is, if you bought SPY 1yr ago and sold today it would buy just as many Euros today as back then.

We gonna have one more gaspy P&D before S&P becomes another FTSE or NIKKEI where only lucky volatility traders make out.
