Author Topic: Manager appreciation Daniel Burns Film Handler Posts: 52 From: dallas, TX, USA Registered: Jan 2003 posted 05-18-2005 01:51 PM                     I for one would feel more appreciated if the companies we work for would pay overtime. I can't stand hearing: "The entertainment business isn't required to pay overtime.  |  IP: Logged Mike Spaeth Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1129 From: Marietta, GA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 05-18-2005 01:52 PM                        We pay overtime for over 40 hours/week.  |  IP: Logged Dominic Espinosa Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1172 From: California, U.S.A. Registered: Jan 2004 posted 05-18-2005 02:23 PM                     ...In California I'd like to see a company try and get away with not paying over time. A company I worked for and a company with a competing theater to where I work both had issues with paying overtime and it bit them in the a$$. ...Thankfully my company doesn't pull that crap. I had way too much overtime last year. Hopefully we'll be properly staffed this summer, but I'm sure I'll still get some OT in.  |  IP: Logged R.

I make up for it and our company supports that. The GM should know when he/she needs to be there for business. Many theatres stay open when people aren't doing a good job. Fact is that if a theatre is the "BIG NEW THING" customers will go, regardless of quality experience. That is why we have to to BETTER to protect our market share. I preach this to employees often. We aren't the biggest so we have to try to be the best.  |  IP: Logged
