Awesome . Thank you for all the info ! <| sep |> Meanwhile players are allowed to take ADHD drugs which are equivalent to speed and most definitely provide an advantage . <| sep |> Shit like these articles are the real fake news . Trump will be the next FDR with his expansion of manufacturing , nuclear power , and infrastructure . <| sep |> Yeah , I ' m in a similar boat . The actual overtime I ' d make would be minimal while I ' d be barred from a lot of optional events networking , training , lunch meetings , etc . As well as flextime and work from home . I don ' t plan on being below the threshold for more than a year so I ' ll just leverage that flexibility more for now . They would most likely have given me the raise but they might then try to trim the budget for support staff or expect more optional participation . Fundamentally , I and my coworkers do the job of an exempt worker so they ' d have a hard time avoiding the raises without crippling my department . I hate to see money out of my pocket but it is what it is .
