I never signed anything stating I would not be paid overtime yet when I asked for overtime to be paid I was told "that we do not do something like this and that I can have you sign something that states you only work 44 hrs a week." My question being can they do this retroactively? and what happens to the past 11 months of overtime I did work? I have a few more questions: when it comes to work responsibilities I was hired for inventory work and installation technician (this was done verbally the contract I signed a week after starting and it had nothing about my work description in it just company policies), but it has happened more and more now that my manager misplans the install and then I have to catch this work up as as well turning an 8 hr a day job to 10-16hrs a day plus having to work weekends which we agreed would be occasional not twice to three times a month and when I try to complain to the VP he just scolds me and tells me to be a team player/ stop whining? What can I do here this the third time this has happened and to be frank I don't want to work in this environment. I have a employment review coming up what are my best options?

I had been yelled at and belittled by new manager of 2 years. My employment 6 years. I was fired for not getting on machinery that I could damage product with for customers. I said no.....I was fired on the spot. There are 4 other employees who have left due to being yelled at and swore at.

Was originally told the shop was laid off, and then when asked for record of employment and ei papers he said I was fired for theft along with another employee when it was not mentioned before at all and that my work was shoddy and i wasted materials when i was employed for 10 months there and never had one issue or have been written up ever. When confronting boss in person he admitted to the new manager wanting to fire and replace the workforce with his own people and he let him do so. That's just a start to this story

I have worked for a company for 28 yrs and 6 was terminated.
