When I worked for big corporations there was always a blitz at the end of the fiscal year to pump as much o/t a possible so our dept would get its budget the next year. It would usually start 3 months before the end of the fiscal year.

When I worked for a small corporation in West Palm Beach it was pretty much expected that everyone in my dept would work a minimum of 60 hours a week. We were all salary except for one guy that I shared an office with. At the end of the year he would make 20K more than I would due to all his o/t pay, once he showed me how much more he was making in o/t and he was a lower guy than I was I started laying plans to get out on my own.

Best move of my life was leaving that Edited - language removed, Z-man hole.
