It's articles like this that perpetuate the acceptance of unpaid overtime. Bosses lap in the luxury of getting their peons to work over their contracted hours for free because it's considered to be normal in the culture of the company, any employee who leaves at 5:30 is seen to be not pulling their weight in what's essentially a very masculine trait (people comparing their hours of work to others as a gauge of how hard they work.)

Unpaid overtime is nothing to show off about, I find it quite frankly abhorrent that he's actively showing off about it
