EA Reconsiders Overtime Position

Posted by Zonk on from the more-money-for-the-hard-working dept.

bippy writes "An internal memo leaked from EA to its employees says that the company plans to make more employees elgible for overtime. Rusty Rueff, senior vice president of human resources, bemoans the bad press and begs forgiveness: "As much as I don't like what's been said about our company and our industry, I recognize that at the heart of the matter is a core truth." GamesIndustry.biz has commentary on the story as well.

    who is somewhat to the right of Mr. Burns. This is just more spin and boulderdash.

  3. So where's the apology? The backpay? by Mhrmnhrm · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Call me cynical, but this appears to be nothing more than PR flack. "Oh, people actually know we think salary with no OT is fair compensation? Maybe we ought to act like we're fixing the problem." Kinda like Kerry during election season... big on talk, but absolutely no "We will do...." in concrete, objective, and independently verifiable terms. Nowhere is there mention of who *might* be reclassfied as non-exempt. Nowhere is there talk about going through, looking at timecards, and giving people backpay. And most telling, nowhere is there an apology.

    I suspect that one of these choices is incorrect. Correct.
