Am I glad that you're not my boss. Please get a clue and read Peopleware (The "Spanish Theory Management" section applies here in spades). "If their employees are happy, shouldn't they be staying overtime anyway?" is precisely the wrong way to look at this. * If an employee is happy, expecting them to work more hours is probably not the best way to keep them happy. * Productivity goes down when you spend 16 hours a day at work. Creativity suffers as well. * Morale goes down when engineers realize that managers are too incompetent to schedule tasks appropriately. * Morale goes down when engineers realize that managers don't understand that results aren't proportional to face time. Any hacker aspiring to be an entrepreneur should rebel at being asked to put in 80 hour weeks for $0. You're not going to do your best work, and your life/health will suffer. It defies common sense.
