[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lol, but as DOJ attorneys which includes FBI attorney, we are already prohibited by law from working overtime, most of already do this because the job is the job and it needs to get done.[/quote]

Not true we are salaried. Its not overtime. Get over your GS 15 self. [/quote]

Even salaried employees are paid overtime, but only if your boss explicitly requires you to stay late or work on the weekends.  If you just do it outside your hours you are just working for the government for free.  DH clocks in and out and is not allowed to work outside the office except for approved telework days or conferences/meetings/briefings, etc.  If he chooses to do so, he's SOL.  If he's required to come in on weekends to make a hard deadline he either gets comp time (the agency's preference) or overtime.

All this free overtime just masks the understaffing that's rampant, despite the story to the contrary that the government is full of dead weight.  Many many people are covering the workload of 2 positions, especially when considering the RIFs of support staff over the past decade.  Too bad there isn't an easy solution to this problem.  Oh, wait, there is.[/quote]
