I sure don't mind it being posted here... but this gal needs to realize taht you don't have to work in a big corporation to experience that kind of inhumane treatment. I worked in a mailhouse for over 5 years in those kinds of conditions. In a state where it is illegal to make an employee work over 12 hours at a time.... I put in a lot of 15 hour days. I got no compensation either. It happens here and there.... The bottom line is $$$ I believe. Loopholes in the laws allow incidents like this to happen. And like was noted in her letter... they will just say... "There is someone else out there that wants your job. So either do the work or leave." It is unjust, but I guess either you want a paycheck or ya don't. That is how I looked at it. I need my paycheck and it isn't any $90,000 annual income. Not even 1/3 of that. It is sad that $$$ generates the kind of mentality that some of these businesses have acquired.

There are 10 kinds of people: Those who know binary, and those who don't. 

A whiner is about as useful as a one-legged man at an arse kicking contest.
