I don't know what would be worse, that you're right or that you believe that's true. Unfortunately I don't know the US federal and state laws, so I can't really tell you if you're right :) but I can tell you that in the rest of the western world, 40 hours (or even less) are law for everyone, including CEO, CTO and whatever C level you throw at it. Anything after that has to be paid overtime or you're breaking the law. The shepherds will be brutal as long as the sheep are docile.
