Yes, there IS something seriously wrong with that picture.  YOU!!!

If you don't like it, you have the freedom to quit.  When you were
first hired, you were probably told WHAT was expected of you for that
position.

>I ask you. Why in the F**C should I give my time to a business for free?

If you don't like it, then quit!  Find a new job.

Obviously, you KNEW what was expected before you started there.  If
not, then it is your fault for staying.

>Anything over 40 hours should be paid for. A good service for a good wage.

READ YOUR CONTRACT WITH YOUR COMPANY!

>CHANGE THE EMPLOYMENT LAWS!!!!

If you don't like it, QUIT!

"The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be
reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and
controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced,
if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again
learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."
