CA Legislature Torpedoes IT Overtime

An anonymous reader writes to mention that a recent piece of California legislation is enabling tech firms to avoid paying their workers overtime.

Thought leadership

I spent the last two days in Winnipeg. I really didn't know much about the city. When I was younger my grandmother used to tell me the story of the Golden Boy — I had no idea what she was talking about at the time but I would nod my head politely as you do when you are nine years old and confused. I finally saw it yesterday, sitting majestically atop the legislature. Nice moment. About the only thoughts I had had about Winnipeg in fact involved: the Jets (sadly now ensconced in Phoenix, no offence intended Wayne), the Guess Who and Silver Jeans (who impressively won the Victoria Beckham jeans contract).
