People should be paid for the work they perform. If someone is hired for a 40hr a week job but it takes 80 hrs a week to do the job the company needs to hire someone else or pay the one employee more. Companies are stealing time.

If it takes 80h/wk then that means half the work just isn't going to get done. My personal time is more valuable than any amount of money.
