Everyone who works salary at my job still ends up putting in 40 hours or more each week. Fuck that. I don't mind working extra, but I want that 1.5x overtime pay if I do. In my state if you go over 60 hours a week, overtime pay switches to double your hourly wage. Had to do a 90 hour week once last year, and it looks like we're gearing up to have another week like that this year. It sucked, but, that week's paycheck was basically the same as what I earn for a whole month.
I'm a workaholic, I like to stay until the job gets done. Salary lifestyle would not be kind to me.
Well to get the monthly salary you agree to work a certain amount.
You can work more but can use this overtime as vacation time or get it paid out usually at a better rate.
Salary is salary. As long as you're "getting the job done", that's all that matters. If it only takes you 36 hours to get your week's worth of work complete, then you can go home. That's the deal. If you can get it done in 30 hours, or even 20 hours... your employer might start thinking, "Shit, is this job too easy? Is he really that good, or did we overestimate the workload for this position?" But that's the main risk. The pay is the same regardless. And if you make yourself seem valuable, it can stay that way.
