Well that’s nice. I’ve worked multiple salaried positions where the unspoken rule obviously was “We can’t explicitly tell you to work more than 40 hours per week, we’re just going to strongly imply that you have no potential for advancement here if you don’t put in extra time.”
I worked a job where not getting your tasks done would result in termination. Working overtime required permission from management, who never gave it. Working overtime unauthorized was also a fireable offence. The way it was phrased was “lots of employees work unauthorized overtime to get their work done, but they don’t ask for payment, so we look the other way.”
The corporation is Service Corporation International. You can scroll down to their controversies section to see how they regularly skirt laws and regulations and receive little to no penalty to their billion dollar a year operations.
I have. But, in construction engineering, that expectation is pretty commonplace. To be fair, they offered straight pay for OT. I’ve never heard of anyone giving time and a half for it.
