I'm a contractor for a government position. Salaried exempt. The company who owns the contract didn't get renewed, and the new company has a policy of no comp time.

This place is open 24/7, and the holidays are coming up. So people on the skeleton crew like me just get fucked over? Is this legal? Is there any recourse for employees? Help.

I look at the CV and it's pretty good. Lots of experience in what we need. But he says he needs to talk to me first. I'll type out the convo since I think it will have more impact. Boss: So, this one's different. He has a record. Rooster: Like, a criminal record? B: Yes. He self disclosed that he has a record. So unfortunately we already know we're not going to take him. R: Okay…..(Note that I have never ran across this situation before. B: So we're gonna do this a bit different. You know the drill. Introduce the company. Get to know his experience and strengths. How he deals with hot callers. The usual. Unfortunately…
So we are at $13.19/hr and this job is the easiest job of my life. I had a seizure at a BK before this and im never returning back to that scummy buisness. But now this job is getting easier and easier with each program change and we are getting a pay raise???! 14+/hr while fast food managers get 12/hr??????? This system is SO broken.
