This is why exempt salary employment is sketchy. A salaried employee may refuse to work overtime, but it may violate the set terms and conditions of employment, and the employer may terminate an employee for the refusal. Not to mention no overtime pay. However, the rules for being an exempt employee are well established. There have been cases of employers hiring employees salary exempt and then losing a labor dispute because it was determined the job was not eligible for salary exempt.
A certain 3 letter logistics company with non brown trucks does this quite often with their niddle management. Theyre obligated to work their schedules, plus a mandatory management meeting plus fill in on their off days. Burnout is inevitable
Don't be ridiculous. HR represents and enforces the company's interests. Employees are disposable and will only be indulged up to the value of the company's actual investment in them.
This kind of manager may SAY "this job is about results" but thats not true if they insist that everything be done their way and think leaving after working for eight hours is slacking off or "leaving early" Then its not about results, its about control.
Work is only a tool to meet your needs. People should be working to live, not living to work
Here in Australia "Work to live. . Don't live to work" is 100% the attitude. .
AND employers are supportive of that too. . WIN!
Work never ever comes first. I would never put any coworker over my family and my family consists of 2 cats.

Family and ones own health come first before work sorry manager but you are out
Workers vote with our feet!
I'd be happy to give 110% if I get 110% of pay.
if you can't meet the time table Mr. Manager, how about you hire more people.

Used to work for a "manager" just like this.
Nope. Not even a little bit.
Funny. ... If the work that employee does is so important, why is the manager pushing the employee out the door.
