Yes, I'm in the U.S. No, I'm salaried so no extra money for over eight hours. That's why I make it known that except for extreme emergencies, I don't work over 40 hours a week, period. And I don't consider other people f'ing up and holding me up as an extreme emergency, regardless of what deadline is looming.
For instance, the current project I'm leading we've been told that it absolutely, positively HAS to be done by December 22nd, and in fact it's been promised to clients already. Now, when they asked me for an estimate, I told them not before February. Well, the business people said nope, I don't care if it's impossible, it has to be done in December. So, I'm like ok, fine, whatever, it's going to get done when it gets done because I'm not putting in 60 hours work weeks, fire me if you don't like it. And now the project is in serious jeopardy of not making that December date (big f'ing surprised, should have just listened to the person actually DOING THE WORK in the first place). Even with the lousy economy abd terrible job market I don't think I'd be out of work too long (not that I want to test that theory mind you, but I still believe it to be true).
But, this is pretty much typical of any company these days, so there's no real point in bitching about it I suppose.
Besides, it's my own fault really... I keep saying every year that this is my last year there, I'm totally fed up with all the crap, yet I've been there eight years now. Things are different when you have a family and a house, changing jobs comes with a whole lot more anxiety then it did when it was just me and my wife.
