Free advice: Don't do unpayed overtime and it will regulate itself. I work 36h/week and if there was too much work planned for me in a 2 week sprint I use the overtime to get a free Friday now and then.

Everything above 40h/week is unhealthy, at least for me, it is! In the near future I will ask for 32h/week; had that in a previous job and it was fantastic.

I sort of do that and have most of my career with my people. If I'm aware they've put in a bunch of hours I'll ask them to take time off on me. I'm sure I'm not always aware and I know it's against company policy but I've never been busted for it. But I don't make it an official policy just to stay on the safe side of company policy. I'm sure if someone found out and complained I'd not be able to do it anymore.
