We will soon see what the fall out is from this change.
In Obama's share-the-wealth, piece of the pie world view; those who work overtime should feel guilty for taking hours away from a potential new employee. As Karl Marx said, "to each according to his needs", and you do not
need to work more than forty hours.
This will reduce overtime hours worked, and Obama and his fellow travelers will hail that as a victory.

Let me guess(it has been a long time since I met you and can't remember what you do for a living). you are angry because work 50 or more hours a week as a salary employee so you are get screwed out of overtime pay.

If I was that upset with my hours and/or pay, I would look for another job. I might even do something to increase my skills and marketability. I would not go crying to the government about it.
Boo Hoo! I want my Obama money!
The people who run the government are much more corrupt and incompetent that those who run businesses.
I don't understand why this is controversial. It seems more controversial to not pay people for hours worked.

It has not controversial. Jobs will be lost because of this. Also, people will be paid less going forward because of OT. The Salary they receive is based on them completing the assigned work. Anyone on salary has to realize that you most likely be working more than 40 hrs (unless you work for the government). Don't accept the position or promotion if you are unhappy with the hrs you are working.

I don't see why jobs will be lost. If anything employers will either need to pay OT or hire somebody else.
Second, I'm salary and I only typically only work over 40 hours on weeks we hold conferences. So, about 10 weeks a year...
The government has moved the goalpost on businesses and the private sector. Going forward, "Salaries" below 46k will be calculated at 45 hrs a week and back into a new salary. This is government's way to try and run a business which they have no business doing. Look at how Federal, state, and local governments are run. They are all out of money. The private sector has enough problems competing internationally, now they have another hurdle to figure out. This will put real pressure on the accounting departments of businesses.
I don't know why it's necessary. They should be spending time on other things.

This has got to be one of the common nonsensical things I hear see posted by people on social media.
THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE
The only way this is logical is if the entire federal government has a single pipeline of thought that can only process and manage one thing at a time.
The vast majority of Americans support overtime for anyone working over 40 hours a week.

First, raises for the people who fall into this category will be much smaller going forward. Second, when replacing people in that position, the "Salary" will be calculated by taking the budgeted wage amount divided by 45 hrs. the overtime will be blended in to achieve your budgeted amount. More than one way to get around this ruling.

You are correct. It is common sense and overdue. In that sense, it's a bit like net neutrality laws. But Republicans are a goofy bunch.
