(5,252 posts)50. Yeah, when they took sides against me, I started think one thing...
...ride it out because you are trying get back unpaid overtime, not regular wages.
There's so much crazy making there, I used that knowledge as unrealized leverage to make my days easier. It wasn't all bad. Aside from the 21 y/o, the director, supervisor, and I got along great and laughed a lot. Even when they were upset with me. I don't pout and have am generally happy. They know it and like that about me.
The HR thing was probably bad advice because I didn't know what else to do. But it's done now...
Thanks for getting back to me! I have a lot of ideas. I need to be told which are the bad ones.

No union. We're helpers. We take care of others. Social workers. We do it for love, not money

Good to know. I kind of thought so since there's so much illegal behavior and intimidation

Again don't go into to much detail about your grievances during any meetings with your supervisors.

The whole "fear of losing unemployment" thing gives them so much power
