Is it okay to ever work off the clock? Even if it’s a small favor?

Help me settle an argument with a family member. My mother’s friend has an 18-year-old son I’ll call him J who just got fired from his pizza job. So everything is pretty split on this one. I guess they were giving free pizzas to the employees. He went in for his free pizza and went to the kitchen. According to him the owner was in the back doing some prepping, and asked him to hand him a pan. J let the owner know he is off the clock. The owner got pissy and said I don’t care I’m just asking you to hand me a pan, a favor. To which J simply replied again I’m letting you know I’m not on the clock right now. Apparently the owner went off on him, about him being able to get free pizza and not being able to do him a simple favor.…

You can’t say this in America, but a lot of the teacher shortage is because the kids and parents and even admin get away with assaulting, battering, threatening, sexually harassing, and even threatening to murder teachers!

And no one is allowed to say that some of these kids act like demons and threaten to rape teachers. They are on video beating up the teachers! What more do you need? ​ edit: Since people don't believe these precious little angels can be violent: https://www.google.com/search?q=student+beats+up+teacher&sxsrf=APq-WBvkhzg2WUFMtEtbxlvH3her5EeVlQ:1644897143881&source=lnms&tbm=vid&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiWt8-v54D2AhXSIEQIHT74BVsQ_AUoAnoECAEQBA&biw=1440&bih=789&dpr=1

$20 an hour Minimum Wage, 6 weeks PTO, 2 weeks STO, and Universal Healthcare

It's time to take back our lives back, demand what's ours; or we start murdering the rich until we get it. This isn't asking for much, this is basic living costs adjusted for inflation. Crunch the Numbers: Average rent for a 1bdrm apartment in the US currently costs ~$1,100 a month; $20 x 160 = $3,200 a month; the 1/3 rule for income/rent affordability puts you at $1,066 before taxes; after taxes you're only at ~$2,500 a month, meaning you can only afford $850 for rent; just a little less than enough to afford a room in a shared apartment for most major US cities. a $20 minimum wage is really just asking for the bare minumum, the ability to reasonably afford a basic room; not a 1 bedroom apartment, but a basic room to share an apartment with in order to avoid being homeless. There shouldn't be any homeless…

Joining a new job and being treated like a peasant by your mentor

No end in months of micro micro micro-management and feeling like an admin bleep. Don’t want to leave because it’s an amazing company and job but the closest person I work with on a daily basis is an absolute nightmare. Rant over.

My amazon dsp doesn’t clean their interior windshields.

So lately I’ve been clocking in 15 minutes early so that I can clean my van windshield and see properly. Seeing as that’s a safety hazard and something amazon is has liability for, am I legally clocking in early. In addition, my dsp makes us clock in at a time where we couldn’t realistically do our pre checklist on our vans and get ready for our route in time. Who can I contact to show that I am actually working during those times?
