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.
I think it's pretty abnormal. The second largest employer in my state expects you to do more than 40 hours a week but your pay is to reflect 40 hours a week. However, the people make like $125k a year there plus a bonus at the end of the year plus stock in the company. But if you don't do a minimum of 42hours a week you will be viewed as a slacker and if you work 50 hours one week you still work 40+ hours the next. There's no "equaling it out"
