There are so many contracts that say "you may be required to do reasonable overtime". Reasonable, paid overtime right? RIGHT?

All they had to do was ban the whole "reasonable overtime is an expected part of this role" verbiage, and actual workers would have loved that.

Like, I literally have spent the majority of my career having to work 'outside hours' (infrastructure tech. I deal with shit that basically you don't get to stop until it's fixed)

I always always get overtime or time in lieu. No exceptions. Why? Because unless i'm a volunteer fucking unpaid work is illegal
