Email from Boss changes employee shifts requiring OT on an “as needed basis”.

The “Boss” sent out an email, on short notice, (Friday afternoon effective Monday) informing the company employees that shifts were going to be changing. Respectively with this change, my shift is going from a M-Th 10 hour shifts to a M-Fri 8 hour shifts +Saturdays to be OT and “required” on an as needed basis. I'm perfectly ok with working a Monday-Fri (though I do like and prefer my M-Th.) but being required to work any Saturday at their whim (“…when told to”) I am not. I thought OT was supposed to be a choice? Am I going crazy???

Found this in my local McDonald’s. They also casually child labor laws and “forget” to pay some employees.

An employer trying to avoid taxes and hire an “independent contractor” even though they describe an employee position. I linked them to the DOL definition of independent contractor.

This lady never advertises the true wage. Minimum. In our state you legally have to post it. She has the highest turn over. For a reason. As you can see.

Are you even listening to me?

Had my first in person interview with a Walmartish like business for a leadership role. Told them I lived super close and I did all my grocery shopping there and like the feel of the store when they asked the “why do you wanna work for this store” question. Fast forward to the end of the interview they asked me if I would be comfortable dealing with customers from the area because “you know it is the rougher side of town”. First off it felt 100% like veiled racism, second did you even listen when I told you I lived like a block away. Ummm yeah.

How old were you when you first realized you would never be able to save enough $ to retire?

I might be a little older than many of you, born in '73. I had undiagnosed ADHD until my mid-30's. All good now, but it took university away from me, and there's no way I'll catch up, money-wise. Around 36, I'd say, is when the original dream died… You?

Only allowed to use the restroom on my 15

Hello, I need some guidance and I was hoping someone on this subreddit might be able to help me. I work at home depot in California and my new supervisor just told me that I can no longer take bathroom breaks unless they are during my 15 minute break. Is this even legal? I wanted to challenge him on it but I am not very educated in all this stuff so thats why I am posting here. EDIT: Thank you all so much for your help and also for all the laughs!!
