In my experience, getting management recognition for overtime is an uphill battle.

Even when I did get paid at some elevated rate, if we divided actual hours worked with the money I got, I still made way less than my hourly rate.

Yeah that's happened to me too, better than nothing though!

Luckily my current work comps my time into PTO and they are generally fairly accurate. Definitely an exception though. This is the only job I've had in the games industry that has done this for me.

Some places will just ask you to make up the hours by not working some other days but you're still expected to complete the same work.

Reminds me of unlimited vacations policies. Great on paper.
