long ago had a boss who had similar ideas on what salaried types should work.
he wanted to morph from 40-50/week, plus travel time (unpaid) to 60+ per week, plus more unpaid travel.
i pointed out to him that if hired a lawyer, he'd pay for every minute that lawyer was working on his case.
"well, this is different", sorry boss, but i don't see it that way, i'm out of here in 2 weeks.
