Rights of exempt employees.

An exempt employee has virtually "no rights at all" under the FLSA overtime rules. About all an exempt employee is entitled to under the FLSA is to receive the full amount of the base salary in any work period during which s/he performs any work (less any permissible deductions). Nothing in the FLSA prohibits an employer from requiring exempt employees to "punch a clock," or work a particular schedule, or "make up" time lost due to absences. Nor does the FLSA limit the amount of work time anemployer may require or expect from any employee, on any
schedule. ("Mandatory overtime" is not restricted by the FLSA.)

Keep in mind that this discussion is limited to rights underthe FLSA. Exempt employees may have rights under other laws or by way of employment policies or contracts.

Some distorted readings I apply to pop/pre-mainstream culture to alleviate my so-called Freudian death drive.











Death mentioned in passing is about as funny as catching venereal but I would never wish this upon anyone having experienced the loss of three relatives in the past three years to some form of self harm. I don't think anyone will likely experience a 1:1 correlation/inspiration suicidal impulse from the way I've contextualized this but I really really hope you get help if you are feeling down.

Acceptable forms of Misogynism in Pop Culture

This is not offensive; this is senseless.

I am going to make an (im)moral judgment on my past work: In deliberately positioning myself as the troubled sexual subject in my past work I objectify myself, as well as other men and women all the time. By pretending that everyone is a (stupid) desiring viewer I am being your best female chauvinist pig. (aka. I am an "open-minded" good sport)

Misogynism comes from both men and women. Misogynism also comes from women who hate other women on the basis of beauty and competition. We take pleasure in the aesthetics of failure. At some point the formal use of irony in these videos suggests our social disingenuity-to skirt and laugh around issues of inequity, offering nothing but the chance for infinite regress through humor of an other's lack.

Someone else's sincere engagement with feelings of misfortune and self-victimization is ironic in mass communication because you think it is funny and "I know that you know that I know" it is funny, which might be why death and sex is funny. How embarassing that the tactic is empathetically so simplistic. I don't think that irony is by any means insincere but an easy copout from taking an extremist and defiant stance on any pressing social issue.

Irony renders objectification palateable and acceptable in mainstream and mass media:
