This shouldn't melt down into a salary v hourly contest.
Hey salaried idiot! follett changed the classification of many workers from salary to hourly. It was a pay cut. Responsibilities didn't change, but pay was cut.
Hey hourly idiot, you saw them cut schedules so they didn't have to pay out benefits. You saw Follett move others to hourly (from salary). Why did you think you were exceptional? You work very hard, but so did many of the others who were run out of this business.
We should be focusing on management. They decide who is cut, who gets bonus (they always bonus, don't they). They risk little and reap whatever reward results of our work. We should stick together. .
