I am actually salaried -- but nonetheness, salaried employees still have a provision for overtime pay (though rarely does it ever actually happen) which I interpret as recognizing that even salaried employees are allowed to have personal lives and that unduly infringing on them is deserving of additional compensation. The concept "whatever it takes" is quite broad and leaves employees open to being overworked and burned out. We're all still human at the end of the day, regardless of whether we're classified as exempt vs. non-exempt. Just my humble two cents.
