Yup. If I get through this 7 months, I get 6-8 years of job security with reasonable hours again.
You already assured them you don't need to have your time or plans respected or to be treated like a human. I am baffled at the idea they would even imagine an obligation to you.
The correct way to compensate people for unpaid overtime periods is equivalent periods of fewer hours. That's what salary is supposed to mean. You speak as though it is a privilege working "only normal hours."
