This is true. And very few employers are going to be willing to pay overtime to someone who is just sitting at their desk and doing nothing.

I worked the whole time 12 hours straight...every week day and on some weekends.

My next job involved being to work around 8 or 9 o'clock and staying until 7:30/8:00, working some weekends and being available for work calls at home.  I always worked at least 50 hours and often more than that.

I personally knew someone in state government who would work 40+20 hours and get overtime. It was how he padded his paycheck. He was physically there during those times but just hanging at his desk or the cafeteria... and of course we have heard of the metro workers who do/did the same thing. So much overtime was paid out, and for what? Of course it's not that relevant for this discussion since most are salaried, but it is your tax dollars...[/quote]
