Toyota to raise overtime pay for 'voluntary' work

Toyota Motor Corp., which a court recently ruled had worked one of its employees to death, said on Thursday it would raise the limit on overtime pay for activities it classifies as "voluntary." Workers at the world's biggest automaker are expected to take part in quality control activities outside working hours to seek ways to boost efficiency and quality, but can only claim overtime for two hours of this a month.

Must be the dumba$$ cousin of the dude that killed himself from playing video games for too long on no sleep and too many energy drinks.

Now that's dedication.

You definitely won't find me working myself to death. Maybe fishing, but definitely not working.

Nor would I. I work to live, not live to work.

The UAW should start taking notes.

[hubbycap]

Overtime pay. Yeah, that'll lower the death rate.

See, and thats why we have the UAW, wth out them, GM would be doing that too. No wait we have another group that prevents that, OSHA, nver mind the UAW is in fact worthless afterall.

You could have just asked me if Toyota works you to death.

 

Starting this past Monday, I am working 20 straight days without a day off at about 9 hours a day. This is including Sundays and Memorial day. I also asked for my birthday off last week, (July 4th) and they told me no, because it wasn't an important enough day.

 

I just go finished with a 20 straight work period on mother's day. They have worked me so much that I actually got sick, and have had to take two days off of work this week.

Come on cambo, does Toyota own that dealership?

[superjim]

At my job... I work about 55 to 60 hours a week.

But I do usually get every other weekend off.

Usually... maybe...sometimes...

 

Been doing it for the last five or six years... and I am 63 years old.
