Unfortunately, I have to admit that though I can do this now because I'm in R&D, I used to be on the trading floor, and unpaid overtime was expected there due to the difficult nature of the work.
Heheh. Nope, verbal request only. Thing is, I work in a high-pressure modelling (er, code modelling that is) environment, and working on at home after hours is certainly not uncommon. This time the overtime request is just explicit. We're going live next week, so it's understandable I guess. It's just not fun :/
