I used to work tech support for one of those large customer service mills.  It was never about me wanting to get paid *extra* time, it was about the company being anal about my work time.  See, they got paid by the call, so they wanted every minute I was at the office to include call time.  That meant, if my work started at 3pm, I was to be at work at 2:45 to set up my workstation.  See, I'd be doing work, but I'd only get paid *starting at 3*.  Now I didn't leave my job because of it, but it wasn't as if they were sticklers for punctuality, they certainly didn't have any problem with me staying over an extra 15 minutes to shut down my workstation . . . so you see, they got an extra half hour of work out of me every day without compensation.  The only solution to that, of course was to find a better job and quit that one.  So yeah- it's not as outlandish as Engadget makes it out to be.  People shouldn't have to do *any* work without being paid for it.  And if they do, it should be their decision, not the company's.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sabinh]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 20th 2008 4:23PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Lawsuits over employees' unpaid computer boot-times stacking up next to unread paperwork]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/20/lawsuits-over-employees-unpaid-computer-boot-times-stacking-up/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/20/lawsuits-over-employees-unpaid-computer-boot-times-stacking-up/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have a simple solution I used to use when I was hourly.
