Can anyone help me understand people's perspective on this:
I'm not being snarky - I don't understand what's driving the position that there's a certain amount of pay where overtime should be required, but over some threshold it's fine to require much higher hours without additional pay.
I'd also be curious whether this will impact graduate students and postdoctoral fellows or whether those jobs will fall outside the bounds of this. There are a lot of postdocs that make ~$42K and work 60+ hours on a regular basis.
