That's not how salaried positions work in the US. If you work 60 hour weeks you don't get paid overtime (but if that helps you perform beyond your peers, you might get promoted faster).
What matters is performance, not hours.
- astura 6y agoNot universally true, I am salary and get paid overtime. In fact, of all the software jobs I've had I did unpaid overtime only a couple times a year at most, never most years. I absolutely wouldn't do unpaid overtime regularly - paid overtime is fine, if I were expected to do unpaid overtime regularly I'd leave. Overtime has always been at base pay, not time-and-a-half like hourly employees. Every salary job I've ever had (I've had 4) required everyone to do their own timekeeping ever day, no working six hours a day and calling it "full time" unless you charged the time off or I guess lied.
