Hey, everybody. I’m in a little bit of a situation. A little long to explain everything if you can bear with me, advice would be greatly appreciated. I’ve been working for the same smoke/vape shop in Texas for about 7 months now and I’m the acting manager. The 2 owners, who are brothers, live in Chicago and fly back and forth with long gaps in between. I currently work 66 hours a week due to lack of workers (yes, we are looking but the owners are very picky). I’ve been working overtime hours for the last 5-6 months (the casual over 40 hours) and not being paid overtime like Texas law requires. I’ve noticed this since payroll has started 6 months ago but my mental state wasn’t good (still working on it) so I didn’t want to do anything. Especially since I really enjoy my job and (not to sound lazy) but the lack of work, it’s just all and all a good setup so I can find out what I want to do with my life. It’s just started to bother me more and more because I’m running THEIR shop while they are trying to move down here. I definitely feel used. I don’t know how it would go if I confronted them. They are cheap as can be and it took a lot of heated arguing to get the pay i do have now. What do you guys thing my options are?
(Sorry I warned you it was lengthy)
