I used to do this when working in an internet call center. It worked very well for me at the time but the only downfall was that the shifts were irregular so my weekends weren't always fri-sat-sun

I work in IT and I don't understand the article, maybe it's a US thing, I'm from Canada. I've always been paid for OT and it is voluntary, of course it's still heavily pushed. I'm not syndicated but I find I have pretty good working conditions. Is Canada different labour law wise or did I luck out with my job?
