+1Well, they never had my market share, so they certainly won't be gaining it now.Any idea if this is a result of the Euro's taking over?Henceforth, as a show of protest, I will buy no Anheuser-Busch products.... uhh, I mean I will continue to buy no Anheuser-Busch products...

I'm not totally sure, but I suspect it's always been like this...+1Well, they never had my market share, so they certainly won't be gaining it now.Any idea if this is a result of the Euro's taking over?

I assumed that AB employees are union? If they are the union would have negotiated no overtime (deems like there are also federal laws for hourly employees). The union should have been putting up a fight if they are firing people w/o cause. As far as using their own phones are they re-imbursed? I had a job where I had to use my own phone but I got re-imbursed.So a buddy of mine works at the distro center outside of Lawrence, and was telling me some horror stories about how this place is run. For starters, NO overtime even though he works OVER 40 hours a week. Second, the plant owner is part of Budweiser's "cost-efficiency" crew, and he fired over half the staff upon taking over the plant! What's worse, as part of their "cost-reduction", he decided to strip the truck drivers of their company provided cell phones and forced them to use THEIR OWN PHONES to talk to customers (consequently all of the managers use iPhones now). Man, what a great company to work for!

That's the catch, he is on salary but I thought you still got it?Unless your salaried, US labor laws dictate that you get overtime. It would be illegal for them not to pay it.The Brazilian/Belgian owners of InBev are notorious for cost cutting, but I couldn't imagine that they would violate labor laws.BrewBasser

I forgot to add they don't give ANY free product to employees. Personally, I think it's a piss-poor way to run a business, but then again we are talking the biggest shitty beer maker in the world...Salaried FTE's are not required to be paid overtime ... my union has made it so I get the OT though
