My employer has traditionally been very good about 40 hour weeks. However, recently everyone on the team has been doing 55-80 hours per week. On about week 4, I pointed out to my manager that the last time we were on an extended stretch of OT, the company put in place a policy to pay us at an hourly rate equal to our annual salary / 2080 for all OT hours worked. He responded "Yeah, but [project x] was on OT for over a year! Besides, OT is expected at most other companies, and none pay for it." (never mind that most at least have bonus programs). It's now been over 3 months of OT for my team, and personally I think there is no end in sight. Of some slight consolation, the less senior team members do get paid for a portion of their OT (usually around 1/2 to 2/3).

Also, our company doesn't do bonuses at all, doesn't offer anything in the form of comp time, and has an unlimited vacation policy that's basically meant 'next to no vacation' for the past half year or so. Some members of my team have hinted to me that they're looking for new jobs, but I don't think management has a clue.

I think at the point a company reaches a state like that. Management better expect every single employee to be looking for a way out...
