Welcome to the typical American salary abuse. There's even a specific legal cutout exempting information technology, scientific and artistic fields from the overtime pay requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
There's a similar cutout for management, which is how companies like GameStop squeeze their retail managers. They just don't give enough payroll hours for regular employees, so the salaried (but poorly paid) manager has to cover all of the gaps.
