  • I mean to be fair, you wouldn’t be getting paid $315,360 for a years worth of work, you’d be getting paid $315,360 for 7.488 million seconds in a year (ish, 40 hour weeks, no missed days)

    So really to have picking up a penny in one second be “worth” your time, you’d only have to be making $74,880 a year or less






  • In the US, ground is bare copper, green, or green and yellow.

    Neutral is white or grey

    And hots are any other color, with black, red, and blue being common for lower voltages, and brown, orange, and yellow being common for higher voltages. But that’s just an unofficial standard, you can run all hot pink wires for your hots if you really wanted to.

    30 minute unpaid (no work legally allowed to be done. if you are still expected to, say, answer calls, then you’d have to be paid for that time) lunch breaks are pretty standard here (I’m in Cincinnati, might be different in other parts of the state)

    but there’s absolutely nothing preventing the company from saying “nah you don’t get a break today” unless they restrain THEMSELVES in THEIR policy that THEY write

    (Except minors, they are legally required to have a 30 minute break if they work 5 hours or more)

    In my state there is no legal requirement for any break whatsoever for adults -_-

    If they are offered however, 20 minutes or less are required to be paid, and no matter the amount of time, if you are expected to do anything (answer phones, emails, monitor equipment, etc) then that break must be paid. But when and how long you take a break, if at all, is completely up to the company :(

    So if this were in my state, whether this would be allowed or not would be entirely dependent on what company policy on breaks is, and I’m sure they would’ve written that to benefit themselves
