<prompt> Human: Hi PF-- long time follower, first time poster,Ive found myself in somewhat of a weird position. Some back story. I originally started for this company working as a paid co-op making around 13 an hour. After my co-op period, they offered me a full time position at 33,500 salaried. I jumped at the chance because I really like the product, people, and the hours. We worked 9-5 with a paid 1 hour lunch somewhere in the middle, with the expectation to put in extra time when the projects required it, which I had no problem doing. I even took over some additional responsibilities from my previous supervisor.3 years later were getting bigger currently about 28 people, expecting to hire 10 over the next year and were officially moving over to a 9 hour schedule. Raises were around this time, so I thought maybe they would compensate for additional hours. I guess I was wrong. With the additional 260 hours now required a year, Id actually be making less than what I did before the change. After the 6 I got this year, and the 5 the previous, Ill be at 37,500. The thing is, Ive brought this up multiple times to management and they seem oblivious to what Im getting at. Ive tried asking for additional pay to compensate, to even working with them to find different benefits to make up for the extra hours work from home, leaving early, etc, but it feels as if this is a take it or leave it situation. They keep saying New DOL regulations this, and New Laws that. Ive done a bit a research, and I dont understand why the new laws would require a switch to long hours. Am I missing something?Am I approaching this wrong? Should I consider this as resolved and either do the extra hours or move on? Am I wrong to think this is almost insulting? Should I just forget this in prospects for new management positions opening up from growth?I would greatly appreciate some additional oppinions. Happy holidays folks.  <response>: Theyre switching you from a paid lunch to an unpaid lunch. Youre still working 40 hours a week, it sounds like. Scummy to take away such an awesome perk, but theyre not the first.It sounds like a great job that you love, so I would suck it up and focus on moving up in the company.
