Also, there's the small matter of renumeration for that other ~128hrs per week.
I'm perfectly happy to be 100% committed to my employers interests/projects for the ~40hrs a week that all the salary negotiations were assuming. I'm even perfectly happy to adjust those assumptions when it benefits the company - I'll work overtime when needed or do a few 60hr weeks at "crunch time" with time off in lieu.
But if work wants to start dictating what I do or don't do in those _other_ 128 hours, we first need to discuss what a reasonable rate to pay for that is. (And, indeed, whether I'm even interested in a job that wants control of more than 40-ish hours a week of my time.)
