▼I made an interesting observation this evening... I have been patiently awaiting the new priority inbox feature, and for the 3rd and last time, I wondered if having the multiple inbox lab enabled was causing any issues?
I went into labs, disabled the multiple inbox lab feature, and reloaded the page... There as a big link next to my username was "Priority Inbox New Feature"...
Coincidence? You tell me...

Steve Pirk - Hey @Brenda Curtis! I am not worried about a settlement. Of these type exempt vs non-exempt OT issues, that law firms like this accept as class action... Only 0.05% go to trial, and none of those were lost.
The lawyers were very careful in their questions to me, and I was totally frank in my answers... Bottom line is... To be exempt from OT in CA, you have to be a high level programmer working on programs requiring high level algorithms. The law here is very specific on that issue. The law states the employee must do all 5 of the following... We do 4 of those functions, but we were not involved in any programming, high level or not...
I now understand the new job requirement from management in the months before my departure...
that we all take and become Java programmers as part of our daily tasks... Once Disney had us doing that, then they will never have to pay OT again...

Jeff C - @Steve Pirk - Good luck here, it can be won. We talked about this on a staff call the other day. The cliff noted version is that "corrective action" was taken against an employee without it being actually defined by HR. Our group was threatened with "corrective action" if we didn't follow the operational procedures as documented.
Our boss was telling us the story of a person whom had run into this same, vague definition. This person sued and ended up getting paid his annual salary for the rest of his life (until retirement age, then he got to collect his pension) by the company as part of the settlement.

Steve Pirk - Thank guys! The lawyers felt good that Disney would settle up... This is becoming pretty common in CA, and employers find it is still cheaper to abuse the law until caught.
In this case, the law is clear. "Workers must be involved in writing high level programs..." The move underway to have my team take Java classes so that we could start writing code makes total sense now... If they can show we write code, then we become exempt. In this case almost all SA types where I worked do not program high level code are are non-exempt.Sep 6DeleteUndo deleteReport spamNot spam

Steve Pirk - James Salsman - I think Java was chosen because what the team supports is mostly .jsp applications and web services.
Java would only be considered high-level enough if it involved complex algorithmic design and data structures. Cerebral stuff requiring lots of "think time". That is why programmers are exempt employees. Offline thinking about problems. It would be enough to throw fear, uncertainty and doubt into the hearts and minds of any abused employees that fear daily about losing their jobs.

Steve Pirk - All you have to do is ask the question of a law firm that deals with labor disputes. We were on the 3rd round of questions before they nailed the "must do all five of the following..." part of the exempt rules in CA law. One of the 5 was the high level programming. It might even have said significant amount of job, but I am not sure.Sep 6DeleteUndo deleteReport spamNot spam

Bruce Stewart - Rob Nelson, excellent comment. "They will have to get products into the hands of mere mortals that just work." Right now there are too many rough edges, too many widgets and things that fail regularly, too many bits to navigate through and around to bring the pieces together and too many technical skills required. Good heavens: my wife (a typical non-computer user) will only look at GMail in Apple Mail on her Mac (she knows and trusts that UI) and won't touch Reader due to its UI. Calendar? Chat? Voice? Buzz? etc.? Not interested.
I observe that my son won't even try GMail — his friends are all on MSN and Hotmail — and my daughter uses GMail and Chat but nothing more. They are often surprised to hear me talk about other Google things, and then, if they look at them, frustrated on arrival and leave, never to return. User experience, fit and finish and communication of where and why matter.
Neither, by the way, chooses to even have a smart phone. Both have iPod Touches and they make extensive use of WiFi for connectivity on their terms.
I am always suspicious of vendor announcements of share growth, because I can never make the numbers add up when their quarterly results come out — not even close. Jobs reported 230,000 new iOS (Touch, iPhone, iPad) activations per day, and said that number was their best estimate of truly new users, as opposed to someone upgrading a device from one release to another, or replacing one with another. Does that mean iPhone hasn't been vanquished? Hasn't anyone realised yet that this market is not a zero-sum market, and that there is room for everyone to grow still within it?

Steve Pirk - I have thought about this issue since people started making mix tapes in the '70s...
It comes down to broadcast rights... If you interpret the law literally like the RIAA does, it would be illegal for you to play your radio in public because other people would hear the music...
If you just offer your music to be streamed on the net, you are just letting people listen to your personal radio... You are not giving them the mp3 file, you are streaming it like a radio...
Not your fault if the listener figures out how to record that stream...

Steve Pirk - @Rob Gordon - that's because you are essentially reading the mp3 file at 128kbs - a high quality stream bit rate. The Chrome browser reads that data like it does any content, sees that it is audio and talks directly to the audio drivers [pretty close anyway].
You get a great download speed because the files are stored in the cloud... You do not have to connect to me to read the files, you are connecting to the closest server that has access to the data... It is probably a chunk of EC2 storage in CA somewhere, but several servers all over the world could potentially accept your connection...
