The only reason we get that is I have the good fortune to be in a high enough position I can push for it. I have no illusions that the higher-ups would okay it if they weren't being forced to. Even then I had to make calls to every office to make sure they were actually following through.
At least there's overtime pay and vacation to look forward to. In the US, most people will be forced to do overtime with no compensation.
