Does anyone live in a place where they are not over-worked hours for their salary? If you don't get paid OT, but are still expected to work 80 hours a week, do you get any form of compensation for your efforts, or do you have employers who tell you that you work salary and they can work you 24 hours a day if they want to?

I guess I am not understood. I am a work-a-holic and would give 24 hours a day every day with no complaints if the job did not then expect that same degree every day of work. As advised, I quit that job over a year ago, and found a better fit for me.

when a company makes you go out of town for a week while you have bronchitis and a fever and cannot breathe and when you ask for some recoup time when the work is over, you could certainly expect to get it, especially when you have over 200 hours of accrued sick time because you are NEVER sick.

When I get a nasty attitude, telling me they can work me like a dog and I get no compensation for it, it's like saying "Your my slave, and you will work the hours I say, and smile about it"

Like they have you under control.

But, as some of you said, I did quit the job when I stopped being appreciated for what I did give them.
