It's more beneficial for a company to try to get workers working 12hrs shifts then to retire. But the OT pay must be killing them

All of my work is out of town on projects, which is always a 6-10 arrangement. I'm on the road alot (28 nights in my bed in '10), but when I'm home all I need to do is answer my phone and my email. I'm on salary, but the projects have 'field hours' built in to cover the extra time - as long as the project goes off on schedule. Due to some office screw ups (projects went long) I put in a shade over $12K worth of hours I didn't get paid for in '11. One other benefit is I get to take the car if it's a long project, and the company pays for my gas.

Between the firehouse, my per diem part time jobs and my detailing venture, I have worked an average of 60 to 90+ hours a week for the last 31 years.
When I first got on the FD and started working part time per diem, we were trying to save enough money to put a down payment on the American Dream... now I continue to do it to maintain the lifestyle to which I have become accustomed!

Yep! It's a vicious circle. Nature abhors a vacuum and Mustang mods abhor a balance in your bank account.
