    Just get a salaried job, where you can still get paid while not working, in exchange for working 70 hour weeks (30 hours for free) when an impossible deadline is set.

        Can this be gamed for massive overtime?

        Also, that sucks and seems borderline illegal. Obviously, that depends on your local laws and socioeconomic status.

          I would have gamed it at my last web dev job. Take a nice 3-4 week vacation before a Big Crunch and then get hourly and overtime when it counts.

      in exchange for working 70 hour weeks (30 hours for free) when an impossible deadline is set which is the normal state.
