Antiwork

Just got informed that my job expects me to work 55-60 hours a week as an exempt employee because thats how a “Professional” is expected to behave.

Pretty much the title. Just had performance review. Discussed how i am working insanely long hours (60-70 a week) for one salary which is labeled exempt so i get no overtime. My boss only allows 1 week vacation a year. We have to be on site 7-3 no matter what Mon-Fri even if we worked till 10 pm the night before. Also we are expected to be on call 24-7. I was forced in Christmas and Christmas eve without any extra time. I had to use a sick day to get some rest because i was on 11 days straight at that point. When i bring it up and how its an issue for me. My bosses response “we are professionals and thats what is expected of us” I’m putting my 2 weeks Monday so i at least have insurance through April. I hate this country so so so much.
