Most who celebrate overtime get paid more. If you're not eligible for overtime (I'd say most who frequent this site), it's not in your interest to work overtime because there's little incentive to do so. If you're salaried and exempt, it's typically in your best interests to work the least amount you can. Most people who celebrate how much of a "hard worker" and wear 50-60 regular work weeks like badges of honor that aren't being compensated extra drank the corporate culture koolaid their HR/HR management offered them, from my experience. It's an entirely different story if you're working more and being compensated more for that work. In that case you're not being taken advantage of (hopefully) and I say, let that person decide what amount of work is appropriate for them. Businesses aren't paying you any more than they can get away with so don't do them any favors either.
