That's EXACTLY what's implied whenever you have to work extra, unpaid hours.

"Implied"??? Your work contract with your employer isn't valid because there are implied rules that trump the contract?

The contract doesn't say 40 hours a week. That's the point.

No doubt this exists at some companies. What percent of salaried employees do you think have the same deal?

I don't understand. Is your claim that Musk owns Statista, Senor Tower, Apptopia, Hootsuite, etc? He owns all of them?
