I'm pretty sure him and his team are salary. Personally, I had always prefer hourly wages. The problem with salary is that they basically have the right to work you at many hours they seemed is "business necessary". Very few companies offer compensation beyond a certain number of hours.

Solid argument coming from a “grown adult”.

Should look up what workaholics are.

Try getting a job as an auditor for 1 of the big 4.
Their culture is all about working overtime.
Its pretty much mandatory.
And when you audits in the profit centre you will meet plenty of people who work overtime.

Some love it some hate.
All like the extra pay they get.

Being a workaholic is not a badge of honor. Some people like to drink, but that doesn't mean being an alcoholic is a badge of honor.

I'm glad he brought up public accounting because I am actually an accountant who works in public accounting. Trust me, not a single one of us loves working these hours. The people in Big 4 are the most miserable accountants out there also. There's a reason the Big 4 has a 90% turnover rate annually and it is a race for all of them to get out of public and into industry.

Minus a bona fide workaholic, I really don't know anyone that enjoy working long hours unless they're trying to get out of financial debt...even then, that's just doing what you need to do to get stuff taken care of.

Yeah,that's kind of the point of salary for the most part.The employer guarantees X number of dollars per week with expectation that they will get at least as much as , and quite often more than, X dollars worth value out of the employee every week.The advantage is a reliable income since pay is not tied to hours worked, which can vary depending on the amount of work available.

Hourly usually offers less pay with the expectation that more often than not you will be done with the work day on or before time unless there are extraordinary cimcumstances in order to avoid paying out time and a half.It also offers the benefit of the employer not being allowed to pester the employee with work matters when the employee is off the clock, whereas salaried employees are often considered to be "always on the clock" when it comes to availability.

Hourly is always a better gig than salary. I would never take a salaried job again in my life. They squeeze every drop out of you and expect you to be available 24/7.

Wether something is a badge of honor as you call it , depends on that persons point of view.

All of matter of perception.

People pro something will have a different view then those against it.

As someone who plays video games being called a gamer is of no offense to me.

People who hate video games will also tell me being called a gamer is not a badge of honor.

Well yeah you have to love your job to enjoy working long hours lol.

Take athletes.
Most dont mind putting in extra work.

Doubt they would have the same mentality if it where a 9-5 desk job.

Goes for pretty much everyone.

When you are your own boss , you tend to work longer hours compared to when you work for someone else.

Ofcourse it depends on what you are doing aswell
