While i agree with what you are saying.
Would you be surprised to know that I am also forced to work overtime for free and I work for a consulting engineering firm.
It's the greatest trick ever invented. It's called a "salaried position". Basically it means that, yeah, your work week is 40 hours but we pretty much expect you to work at least 50, better yet 55 on average. Sometimes you will work even 90 or a 100 hours a week.
We will bill the client for every hour you work, i.e. 100 hours a week and we will pay you for 40, keep our share of the 40, then we will keep ALL the additional 60 hours you worked too.
Happens every week of my life.
