Antiwork

My employer has posted mandatory over time, a minimum of six days a week since last Christmas. They are now saying we are going to have mandatory 56 hour work weeks on top of the regular over time and if you don't fill your hours, you'll be written up or even terminated. A friend of mine works in a different department at the same place and she's basically the only person on that department right now. She's killing herself working for the company and they won't lift a finger to help her.

Mostly just the title. I live in a small town (

with the basic premise that rents, utilities, food, and other costs are all locked in and don't increase. Doctors get $30/hr. Lawyers, teachers, grocery stockers and cashiers, librarians, gas station attendants, CEOs and stock brokers… all have their pay set at $30/hr. Why would anybody do…?

Can I go to prison ? Should I keep driving this POS car I have through them or should I go park it in their lot and drive off? I'd prefer to drive it until the wheels fall off, but I do own a truck, and if needed my S/O can…

Sorry about the length! Let me start out by saying, I have always loved my job. I mean, the work itself has always been enjoyable to me. I started out making minimum wage, which was fine because it was just supplemental income and the work was ridiculously easy. This past December, my coworkers and I got a 75 cent raise (so I now make 75 cents over minimum wage). I'm pretty sure my boss did this bc he created a new position and gave it to a family member who is making much more than any one else. He had offered us additional hours but that was rescinded when said family member was hired. But I digress, my company recently purchased another company and we (actually, pretty much just me) are now making an entirely new product. It is much more complicated and took me a month in training to…
