Let's see, 30 years salary, average of 10 hours per week unpaid (5 hours extra expected as part of the job and 5 hours for all the times expected to put in a little extra to get the latest hot project done), minus 2 hours for the little bonuses that made up the difference, and forget vacations because those were largely excused absences given the amount of time expected before and after to make up for being out of the office - 8hr x 50 weeks x 30yrs = 12000 hrs, or 6 years salary. Yeah, that's not going to happen.
