Most job responses I get is they’re not hiring anymore due to restructuring. Aka they just go for pure profit increase while overworking the understaffed employees. No more remote interviews either. Tons of requests to do one sided video interviews. And the pays appear lower than they were during the main pandemic, even though all prices have gone up since. I’ve no clue how I’ll find a job, yet alone one which will cover my expenses just to exist. And the employers catch on and push abusive shit. My current job has unpaid overtime. I’m leaving, but I’ve no clue what fate holds.

    Document the unpaid overtime as best you can, and when you leave, send what you can to the dept of labor, or whoever oversees that stuff.

        Depending on where you are, it still may not be legal. Law overrides contracts.

          Also depends on the position type. If he’s salary exempt, no OT pay. These are typically like a management or executive position.

        Just because it is in your contract doesn’t make it legal!

        Realistically it could be worth checking your local laws regarding it and potentially speaking to a lawyer as some will do a free consult to see if you have a case

          Where I am they can indeed do that as long as your average wage never drops below minimum wage.

          So it’s definitely worth checking local laws.
