    very simply put:

    if you are exempt from overtime, your employer is as close to God on Earth as you will get. They can control your life so completely that your wife would be jealous and it is legal.

    You do not have any "me time" unless they allow it. You are subject to their beck and call at their desire.

    If you are legally exempt, either suck it up as part of the job or find a new one.
    Is an employer required to put in writing your roles and responsiblities? I.E. I was told I'd be hired to ____.

    They now say i'm required to _____ which was not in the agreement.

    Upon employment, i agreed to do certain things. I.E. I applied for a job to be an engineer and do certain engineering roles. These additional roles simply aren't agreed to.

    Is there any laws protecting exempt employees from say required to work 48 hours straight without sleep? (exaggeration)

    If i have a scheduled day off i.e. after working a 60 hour work week, can an employer just say "oh yea... come in tomorrow on saturday".

    Don't get me wrong, I work plenty of hours above and beyond. I'm really more in disagreement about being on call when there probably isn't anything other than unwritten expectations saying I need to be on call.
