A good time to be in a salary job.

There was a time when I didn't like being a salary employee. Working very hard one month with more hours and not making more than the month I didn't work as hard. 

But today I hear about friends that worked 50 to 55 hours a week and had factored the 40 - 60 hours of over time into their monthly income. Now they are not allowed to get over time. This has been a 1,000 2,000 dollar cut in the monthly household income. I don't think I have to mention the poor people that work on commission. I'm just very glad that I still have a job, and I'm not scared of losing my job yet.
