I feel your pain :-/
The last few months of my last job, thanks to staff turnover, I
was regularly putting in 60-80 hour 6-day weeks and was "on call"
(with an automated Tivoli system that never slept) when I wasn't at
the office for about five weeks straight.
I might have you beat in that during the one period I was down to about
a 50 hour week (after major project deadlines had been met and the
new staff was up to better speed), I got told, in the form of an
official complaint from my boss to my file, that I was unwilling to
work overtime and weekends.
Yes, I *had* been entering all those hours in our time system.
I did get offered emancipation in the form of a package. I took
it. Although at that point I think I would have left without it
since I had some money in the bank. It really added insult to
injury. (There was over 100 percent turnover in that group in a
year's time. I'm sure you are *all* wondering why ;-) ;-) ;-)
Now if I stay till 7 pm to deal with some issue (emergency reboot,
change, what have you), my boss is generous with the praise and the
"comp time". (No chance of bonuses or stock options in my current
gig, but that's ok.)
