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!

That's illegal. Contact OSHA and the Dept. of Labor and have him thrown in jail.

In the US, if you don't get paid for work you do, that's illegal.

Illegal... so not true. A company cant make you work unpaid, thats against the law in USA. This one obviously didnt happen :(

working a legitimate job that has a w2 and all that what not while not being paid for the hours you worked is in fact illegal and the employer can be sued for all the unpaid hours worked plus could potentionally get other charges thrown at him or her

He can't force you to work and not pay you. If he tries or threatens to fire you report him the labor board. It is against the law.
