Quite. But many workers with a supervisory role are called "managers",

In my last experience in the "real" work world, I was making so much overtime the company repositioned me as an exempt employee and gave me a raise. The hours and the work remained the same but my pay went down nearly half because I was no longer eligible for overtime pay. I did get "comp time", however, and I had about 100 hours of it when I got laid off after, of course, they had me lay off a bunch of other folks. The comp time went away (uncompensated) with my lay-off, but as far as I know, that time has never entered anyone's computation on the true cost of materials. I guess it's my hidden gift to capitalism.
