I'm sorry, you've been promoted..

No, this isn't about my own pending promotion, but a company that decided to pre-emptively implement the new Bush Administration exemptions on 'professional' employees not receiving overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Remember kids, just 411 days until Election Day 2004.
