Re: "or offsite [...]outside work hours.
But US working hours are apparently 24/7... I'm definitely with you on this one, Jake: if you want me to work - or even to talk to - outside my core hours (for me and my colleagues, 37.5 hrs/wk, though I work part time these days), you damn well pay me overtime for them. That's *significantly extra*, not the default rate, and definitely not zero.
This concept of 'if you're not prepared to put the company above everything else' expectation is completely and utterly insane...
