bond_juanito_bond: I started working as a software developer with $22.5/hr. They made me work almost 80 hrs a week for 4 years straight. No overtime. They kept the team understaffed on purpose. After 5 yrs my pay was $35/hr, which is nothing for the amount of work and experience.
I was told: “You’re on a visa, so you need this job a lot more than we need you.”
I switched companies last year, then I reported my previous company to the Department of Labor anonymously. The company was investigated for tax fraud and shutdown.
They may have made a lot of money by abusing my rights, but they’ll never abuse another worker ever again. I never work overtime now.
