I used to work for a company that told us at orientation to expected to work at least 10 hours every day. Everybody I worked directly with was hourly and we were only eligible for OT after 50 hours.

Thanks!
Think about it. Look how much incentives they have provided us to use our credit cards everywhere.

I treated the shop as if it were my own and I took pride in my work. I would even stay up to 30 minutes after my shift had finished, unpaid, to help put stock away from our deliveries. I wanted to work hard to progress further within the business.…
Whole process took three weeks. There was a work sample that I spent probably three hours on. Got to the final interview with the ceo, who I wouldn't have been reporting to. Received rejection email after a full week. This job would have finally been enough for me to survive. I feel so helpless.
A crisis resembling the European Migration Crisis of 2015 following the Syrian (and other) Civil War(s), but due to American Economic Migrants. Are any studies being done on this subject?
