Certainly I was literally filling in boxes on physical paper with a physical pen, but there was no giant steam whistle involved. California has revved the laws a few times, and I'm not an employment lawyer, but all I know is I worked two weeks on salary before I was told there'd been a mistake. That was 2004, not long after CA went around to a bunch of businesses and explained that "college degree === exempt professional" was no longer going to be the order of the day. Made me happy, it meant more money. The hours were as flexible as ever.
