Today, my boss asked me to work over the entire weekend. That would be fine if I didn't already work a 60 hour week. He also said the extra hours on the weekend wouldn't be paid. FML

He's not even thankful for the hard work and hours you've put in! Isn't it illegal for the company not to pay you for your time worked anyway? I hope you said no. It sounds like you're exhausted. Good luck!

you gotta take a stand, say no. if not, just tell him you're sick or something along those so that he knows that you'll be unavailable during the weekend

He can't make you work and not pay you ? That's against the law

Take this to the Ministry of Manpower (at least that's what they call it here in Singapore)

if you do quit over this, try to get it documented. maybe by opening a case with hr. Keep copies of all paperwork. A paper trail never hurts.

you are so right. I did not notice the post was from outside of the USA. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

If I'm not getting paid for it I'm not doing the work .. It's that simple

Guys, OP is from the United Arab Kingdom. That's why.

I'm pretty sure that's illegal. Say no.
