Then they should pay 168 hours / week and not 40

Most software engineers in the US are paid by the day, not the hour.

You just basically rewrite what guy that I responded to wrote, nothing more.

You agreed to get $your_salary for X hours of work and being connected to that company.

If you worked in some industry like porn or at facebook, then somebody may use it against you and I don't think

saying "No I didn't work for them" is going to work for ya

>No you don't

Then why shitton of Googler and other people uses "opinions are mine"?

because they're Googlers even outside office hours

Maybe you're not representing them "directly", but you definitely do indirectly.
