I got a job just a couple of months ago where my friend is the manager. Immediately, I was asked to do work off the clock at the start and end of each shift. Initially, I went along and did it, but realized it was illegal for them to even ask that of me and stopped. So far as I can tell, it’s just the expectation of everyone in this particular position.

My boss said he wouldn't fire me when I brought up why the new hires got paid more than me and we had an honest discussion… welp… I can back from my vacation and I was let go… cut to two months later I'm still looking for work and it feels so impossible right now.
