I knew a guy who used to work at Amazon as a salaried coder. But on-call for 2 weeks every 6 weeks for the payment system of an AWS service in all of India. Every week on-call he'd get 20-40 pages and he has to respond within 15 minutes. In addition to regular working hours
Told me he would never get a full night's sleep during on-call and once never slept more than 2 hours straight 3 days in a row
There's so many loopholes in American labor laws
