Manager messes with my scheduling, preventing me from overtime

I was scheduled to work 12:30pm – 9pm tonight, an 8 hour shift (30 min lunch). Tomorrow, I was scheduled to work the same time.

I got no notice for this change until an hour before we were scheduled to leave, and my manager is intentionally making us come in later than we were scheduled tomorrow so that we don't get any overtime hours. She was upfront about the fact that she was doing this to specifically to stop us for qualifying for overtime, too. This was at a Sam's…

This was at a Sam's Club in Arizona.
