    In my 20s, I was definitely pulling extra hours for no OT or just off the clock. I’m now in my 30s and am suing my previous employer for wage theft.

    If they’re doing it to you, they’re doing it to co-workers. Save ALL your receipts, stubs, emails, chats… Collect contact info from other employees, so you have that info when they/you quit. Found out it was actually pretty easy to find a lawyer willing to take a (in the grand scheme of things) small payout case on contingency. Don’t know how it’s going to play out yet, but it’s looking good for something the employer considered me being petty.
