If you as an employee accept that overtime is part of the job and not over and beyond expectations, you're being fleeced. Again, different then what you describe as you are putting in extra effort in the hope that you will be rewarded with better jobs/pay/noteriety.

Well certainly no one is going to put in OT unless their is something in it for them. Whether it be long-term career advancement, or straight out cash. My point is though that lots of people have jobs where they don't get paid for the OT they work, and thus the fact that EMS workers DO makes it a relevent point to bring up.
