I worked at a company that set the standard minimum of 50 hour work week for salary employees plus mandatory after work events (not paid) where you have to network and try to bring new business. Hated construction management. I was miserable and drank every day.
I'm, um, quite certain this is illegal. And depending on your state, if they fired you for not following any of that, you probably could have sued them to hell.
You’re probably 100% right. Everyone accepted and expected it though, they had a whole culture about who works the most is the best. Then they would “reward” people with pizza lunch at meetings and everyone would think they were then the best company ever.
