My brother is doing that at his current company. In a normal economy he would be working a normal 40 hour work week at Cisco. In this economy he has to do the work of 2 or 3 people working 50 hours a week at another company which will remain nameless. Before he didn't have a problem with it because they were paying him on an hourly basis which meant overtime but then they switched him to salary. He's still a good solider but I have a hard time believing that he won't get better offers if/when the economy picks up.

This "you should be thankful you have a job" crap is getting old.
