> Considering the companies they are talking about here, wouldn't it just be better to work towards a more goal driven work agreement? Show up, do what is required and then the time is yours?
People with the liberty to have goal driven work are generally exempt (there is also a pay threshold, but the freedom of goal-driven work usually only comes with sufficient pay to meet it), and not the workers impacted by this bill. Giving people the freedom of goal driven work and the minimum salary for exempt status is a way for employers to not have to worry about this requirement, which does push people to that by making it more expensive not to do it.
