If you don't know yet you will. Most CE's, DOE's, DOE/IT, and MEM's, (and I am sure many other positions) anyone classified as "engineering management" that doesn't have 2 full time staff under them will now become an hourly employee.
I haven't punched a clock my entire life so I pose this as a constructive collaboration since I feel we all will feel the same in this regard. I have however studied the Department of Labors documents but before I share my view I would like to hear from my peers.
