I'm guessing you guys have never had to get a LOT of work done by Friday to ensure that the company's finances are accounted for on time, LOL.

If you don't want to work a lot, don't get a job that will have a lot of overtime hours.

Look, I'm not some remorseless, cut-throat business-above-all-else finance jerk who sees no need for worker protection or wants to undo all of the post-Gilded Age advancements in workplace safety, employment regulations, etc. ... but it's not as simple as "things could be done in 30-hour work weeks, or it can wait until Monday."  For example, yes, I spent a huge portion of last Thursday (I took Friday off to travel) with nothing immediate to do, but I had to remain there because I had several rather important/urgent meetings I had to be a part of, and the only times we could get all of us together were several hours apart from each other.  And I'm not going to go home during those in between hours just to come back, and I'm certainly not going to stay there if I'm not being paid!
