Assuming that you took a half hour off for a meal then you earned less than $4.20 an hour.  You didn't receive overtime, and you didn't have ANY days off.  Where I live it is against policy to not have a day off every 6 days.  If you don't rest you can make a fatal mistake.  You were taken advantage off and underpaid.  QUITTING WAS THE ONLY THING TO DO!  I am glad you did.\n\nEDIT:  If you were supposed to get 7.50 an hour you didn't get it (if you worked 7:30am to 7pm for two weeks with a half hour break.)  If they were actually giving you 7.50 plus time and a half when you went over 40 hours a week you would have received 1552.50 minus any taxes (at least you should in USA.)  How is it possible that your income tax is 58%?  This had to be all under the table.  I wouldn't do that again if I were you.

Yes, but should extend the work day to 10hrs therefore making up for that lost day, in turn just rearranging the hours so that when u have to work u use more of your day to work and when you have 3 days off you have more time for yourself

This is against the policy at the company that I work for. A reduction in hours is considered to be an adverse action since it has an adverse affect on your income. Any adverse action requires a notice period, depending on what it is. I don't know about a law suit, but you should contact your human resource manager and let them know what happened. Your boss may have cut your hours without consulting HR and doesn't know that he can't do it without notice. But even if that is the case, if the manager has a justified reason to cut your hours, HR will advise him of the proper way to do it... so I would be brushing up my resume :)

I'm not going to pretend that I know what it is like to do the 7 on 7 off schedule, but the transition from day to night is rough. I invested in those room darkening blinds ($10 at Walmart) and stole a pair of ear plugs from the factory I worked for. If you're in a factory, you probably agree that the industrial ear plugs are good enough that you don't hear the trash man outside, but weak enough that you can hear the alarm. The new blinds didn't make my room pitch black at night, but it helped. As far as switching the schedules, try to push yourself on Friday (or whatever your last work day is) to not go to sleep until anywhere from 8-10 that night. It'll wear you out enough that you won't be up before the crack of dawn. You'll also get enough sleep that you can enjoy the weekend "properly". Also, try to get on a sleep schedule as soon as possible. If you stick to the same schedule everyother week your body will get more used to it quicker. ie. don't stay up til noon one day and get in bed at 8 the next.

Hey Jose,  I quit a job as a manager of UPS for 19 years to stay home and watch the kids (3 and 8 months).  Also to go back to school and become a teacher.  This was 2 years ago and it was the best decision I EVER made.  I plan on starting work again after the kids start school.  My wife works 30 hours a week and we now live on a very fixed budget, but I am the happiest I have ever been.  I used to work 70 hours a week and was miserable, but now am a new man and get to see my wife and kids all the time.\nVERY SATISFYING to quit at the time, also!!!!

Nothing...I probably wouldn't tell anyone and keep on working at my job.  It's not so bad.  I would get bored quickly without work...I had today off and I'm borderline insane already.  I need to be busy.

i don't think it's a law...mandatory time clock, i hate it without a time clock, it seems i got jipped when i worked like that. i would find another job if your place doesnt' have a time clock. there's no proof at all of what you worked, and if your check is short, you can't say antyhing about it!!!

That isn't fair.  I would write everything down and take the issue to upper management or HR.  No matter what your job title, it is no reason to be treated that way. The quick vengeful solution would be to quit during a very busy time of day, but you have to make sure you will  be able to make do until you find another job.  Doing that won't look good for you when you apply for the next job though.  Just try to be patient for meanwhile.  I actually think this is the easiest time to look for a new job, especially in retail or any place that gets busy during the holidays.  Good Luck!!

7.5 hours per day, equaling 37.5 hours per week (unless otherwise stated by your employee union).

This isn't a legal issue, it's a company policy issue.  If you are on salary they have to pay you the whole day, because you showed up; however, they can also charge your vacation time for the hours not worked.

Same as Radioactive's answer.  I set aside all day on Sunday to work and rework problems.  I faced it like a job and worked all the problems I could.  It helped.  It also helped to have a good source of music and some snacks too.

I am not in that kind of business but I was taught that it is best to start with \n\nGood morning/afternoon...simply because most people don't pay attention to the first words (busy doing something else).\nYou should state whom you are working for too...and the reason why you asking for information.\n\nI am working for......and I am presently doing a survey about...Reason/because is....bla bla... I would appreciate it very much if/ I would appreciate if you could answer my request/ I would be very grateful ..(be grateful..if you want people to help !)

hmmm, could be your boss needs you and in order to keep your job you figured you had better go in.\n\nLook at it this way.  You do have a choice whether to work today or not.  I know it may not be all fun and all, but if you chose to work, then there is a reason that you feel that that is the best choice.  Either you need the money, or you do not want to lose your job, or you want to help out your boss, or whatever.  If the reason that you chose to work is really worth it, then you should try to develop enthusiasm about your decision.  Whatever you do, you should do it with enthusiasm!  Once you have made a good choice, then realize it is your choice, and make the best of it.\n\nOf course, I'm preaching what I myself find very difficult to practice!  But if I keep reminding myself of these things long enough, it usually helps at least a little!
