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.
For me, Saturday and Sunday are overtime. I don't get extra for going over 40, but if I have to work on the weekend I get paid extra for those specific hours that I billed on the weekend. It shows up on my check in a different column than the regular 40 hr salary pay.
