RE: Overtime rules

["Bonnie Granat" <bgranat -at- granatedit -dot- com>]

If a person signed on to a job knowing that the job involved up to 80 hours
a week and the company did not offer compensatory time, you'd call that
person insane, wouldn't you?

Well, no insane person is going to complain about it if they're crazy enough
to sign on to it to begin with.

I guess what I'm saying is that your scenario is deeply flawed, so deeply
that it's unusable as a hypothetical situation.
