[Histonet] Are Histotechs considered "exempt" employees?

[Andrea Grantham]

Anthony,
You live in CA, work 50 hour weeks and you are a HTL with an  
unprecedented and valuable resource at your disposal, Histonet and you  
know how to use it. For this you get paid $16.15/hour by what appears  
to be an employer who isn't grateful to have you. I'd start looking  
for another job.
Just my humble opinion.
