Dire Times for HTC; Engineer Staff Being Forced to Work Without Overtime

Exactly.

Boo-hoo. I get paid for 40 hrs and I typically work 50-60. Yeah, it sucks, but that's how a salary-based pay works.

Last time I was on salary i was expected to work a minimum of 45 hours. I liked it because I could work half days on Saturday which allowed me to catch up, which cleared up my work load for the next week.

Who said no overtime didn't simply mean no time and a half (or their version) for overtime. Where does it say they don't get paid normal wage for the overtime hours?

my laptop is being a pain in my ass right now and not letting me paste a link for some reason... but google "htc cutting overtime" the first article that pops up (Android Authority) says that "HTC is asking at least 1000 engineers to work a twelve hour day but only get paid for eight hours." So no, no normal wage, no nothing for those extra 4 hours a day (according to the article at least)
