I don't understand this outrage culture over paid overtime. If people are willing to put in more hours and are getting paid for it,then why is it the evil of all evils? This is internal business of the developer. It's their job to care about their employees morale, not mine.
I don't want to hear about it until there is something to report, like employees not getting paid on time or at all for their overtime, or being forced to work more than what is allowed by law. I even condone them working more than allowed by law if it is fully voluntary.
The issue is how its uses and the effect it has on employees. They're often salaried employees and are forced to work massive unpaid overtime as salaried employees are exempt from OT laws. This crunch time can sometimes last for months, if not years. This leads to burnt out employees, employees so tired they can't work effectively and is VERY unhealthy for the industry as a whole.
