I actually had the opposite happen a long, long time ago. Started my new job on salary. Sysadmin on a bunch of remote Unix systems (yes, "Unix"), and systems programmer as well. As one might expected, it was a demanding job. That's fine, I liked it, and the first month went fine. Then a new manager gets the idea that we should be hourly. Why? My only reasonable guess is that he had some misguided idea that "salary" was for big-whigs like himself, and "hourly" is for the grunts under him. So now I have to punch a literal clock, like a fast-food worker or summat? Fine by me. I made fucking bank at that job, as one might imagine. Oh, I worked my ass off, but I got paid for every minute of it (and more, with overtime). What I can't imagine is how much payroll went up, and how he got away with continuing it.
