I work in the computer field too. I am a salaried employee. For every hour I am required to work over 40 hours a week, I get an extra hour in vacation time. This adds up quite nicely. I don't know anyone in the computer field who would have to be subjected to such treatment as you described. If you don't like your employers working conditions, switch jobs. Even during this recession, there is still a significant glut of skilled computer experts.
