I don&#x27;t know what would be worse, that you&#x27;re right or that you believe that&#x27;s true.<p>Unfortunately I don&#x27;t know the US federal and state laws, so I can&#x27;t really tell you if you&#x27;re right :) but I can tell you that in the rest of the western world, 40 hours (or even less) are law for everyone, including CEO, CTO and whatever C level you throw at it. Anything after that has to be paid overtime or you&#x27;re breaking the law.<p><i>The shepherds will be brutal as long as the sheep are docile.</i>
