...at my former company, it was considered "cheating the company" to work less than 60 hours. Unpaid overtime, of course.
And, if you showed any dissatisfaction with the situation, or had childcare problems that meant that you couldn't work exactly the extra hours they insisted on (meaning that you were still putting in 60 hours, but some of it on weekend mornings instead of weekday evenings), you were tagged with the "bad attitude" label, and let go as soon as practicable.
The big, unspoken fact is that the Republican/corporate axis doesn't want a return to the "good old days" of the 1950s (as their propaganda always refers to), but to the neo-feudal state of a hundred years ago, when there were no basic labor laws to protect workers, and you "owed your soul to the company store." They're well on their way to getting that, worldwide.
