Personally the reason I don't complain about not getting overtime pay is because just as often as I'm working 12 hour days, I'm sitting at work playing games on my phone. Working in a more operational side of the IT spectrum, unless I have a major project I'm working on, my job is dependent on there actually being work to do.
Might not be the typical case for IT workers, but if I started complaining about overtime pay and wanting to get paid for hours I'm actually working, I might just find myself taking a pay cut.
- wvenable 9y agoIf you had said for as often as your working 12 hour days you're spending time away from the office, you might actually convince someone. But sitting at work playing games on your phone is not really a job perk that most people would trade for. I'm lucky that at my current job, despite legally being exempt, we actually get overtime. If I want to work more hours one night and go in late the next day I will do that. But if the company needs me to work after hours or on weekends, then they should pay overtime.
