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.
Eh, I’m salaried, so there are opposite days, where I’m working well past 9pm on a weekday. There are also days where I have to work regardless of my home’s power/Internet status. If I lose those on one of those days, my office is going mobile for the day, yay!
EDIT: I’ll also add that I one of the lucky few that has a boss that measures my performance in productivity instead of hours behind a desk. It’s a beautiful thing to experience.
Must be nice, I have to clock out if my Internet goes out at home.

Ahhh, fun at my job if you miss a certain number of days you get temporarily moved to hourly till the end of year
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.
FTFY
