Salesforce non-exempt offer
Wife's company got acquired by Salesforce. While she is keeping essentially the same role with a different title (Senior Success Agent), her status is changing from being exempt to non-exempt. Base salary remains roughly the same. She has some concerns as to what this change of status means, and whether it's essentially a "downgrade" in her comp. Wondering if anyone could shed some more light on this subject. Also, since we're on the subject of comp - is it at all negotiable, especially in this case where it's an acquisition and not a straight up hire? I couldn't find a lot of comp data on this particular role. If anyone could share some information that'd be great. Oh, and this is in California. Thanks in advance!
Bigger companies tend to get hit with serious lawsuits over compensation, hourly is the trend. Oracle got hammered with that a few years back. Has little to do with job title, skills, etc. and more to do with self-protection in a litigious environment
Non-exempt basically means hourly which is much better because now she's qualified to get paid for overtime! With Exempt you're salary and doesn't matter if you work 6 hours or 60 hours you get paid the same amount
