There’s no such this as “overtime” in most salaried jobs though. You’re paid just for being an employee, not for hours worked.

This used to be true, but has changed in a lot of states and cities in the last decade or so. Many people still think that salaried=work as long as the boss says.

In those places, being salaried doesn't mean you have to work unlimited hours with no compensation. This only applies to managers. If you don't directly manage people, you are legally entitled to overtime. Pre-pandemic, some states were cracking down on this.

It's worth checking your state and city's labor laws every couple of years because things change all the time.
