After  a year and a half, I put in a vacation request for the back time, just about seven weeks. He actually hired another guy to pick up the slack.

I think a lot of employers are going to get an eye opening  when they realize how many hours their employees are putting in.

Agreed, many employers are milking the salaried folk, to no end.  In some comp time situations, I've heard of folks retiring a year or more early, and getting a steady pay check for the remainder of their time.  State agencies, such as the one my wife works for, are trying to prevent that from happening, but they refuse to hire enough competent staff to spread the work load around.

Or maybe i'm just ignorant...which is possible

It will likely be a bit of a shock for you to learn that much of the actual work in the US, is done by folks making less than 45K.  Do the research, read the job descriptions and responsibilities..
