My first busy season. WTF?

During the interview, they said I have to work 60-70 hours during busy season which was something I was okay as frash out of school and needed the experience. They also said any overtime is 1.4x the regular.

example:

I worked 63 hours week 1

I worked 59 hours week 2

Direct Deposit hit last weds and it was same amount as I have been getting paid before tax season.

Are hours calculated based on billables because my billable never goes above 6-7 hours since I also do non-billable tasks.

Is this the norm? I honestly dont want to say anything if it will lead to me getting fired before I get my cpa hours.

someone care to explain?
