I think you're conflating has crunch and has non-exempt employees with everyone is getting crunch OT. It is simply not the case.

Certainly exempt FTEs are crunching and not getting (directly) compensated for it. But the above comment's "overtime pay makes crunches disappear" claim is also simply not the case, just given the still-present abundance of crunch time for non-exempt employees who do get overtime pay.

Non-exempt employees are typically cheap enough to not care about the OT pay. The lower limit for the exempt employees is around $20 per hour.

Any OT pay above that is typically negotiated by unions in the current market.
