>I've put in countless hours of work every day (70-90 hrs), being on-call almost 24/7, sometimes for straight 7 days for months despite only getting paid on a salary basis on 40 hr work weeks; being a loner helps with working long hours. This sounds ridiculous to me. Are you from US? EU here, 40hrs work week, 5weeks paid leave, paid sick days. After hours I'm turning my phone off, everything extra they must pay me money, like weekends are double my hourly rate, or it's illegal for them and people have no problem to call inspection on companies, then they can expect big fine. Your situation looks like slave labor to me... (of course, on top of my salary I do contract work for fun, for even better money, sometimes in my work hours, if everything is done, hh)
