For completeness sake, and because workers should know their rights, I just want to add that many salaried employees do actually qualify for overtime. It’s possible that these devs don’t, but be sure to look into it and know your rights if you are a salaried employee and being forced to do overtime. Wage theft is the most common form of theft, so make sure to protect yourself.

Not if they’re salaried (payed a set amount per year) which most devs are. At least that’s how it is in the US if you don’t have a union contract.

OK, thanks for the explanation. They definitely need to unionize then.
