I like to get into the office early in order to read several newspapers and keep up with current events. I thought I was doing my boss a favor by answering the phones before 9:00 a.m. while I was reading my paper. However, over the last several years, my boss has started to meet me at the door at 7:30 a.m. with "urgent" projects that need to be done right away! So, not only am I now starting work at 7:30 a.m. and working through my lunch hour, but he has even started that few minutes past 5:00 p.m. stuff -- he's got me finishing projects at least 10 minutes after and sometimes even 1/2 hour after. Do I get paid for this? NO. He has let me know that he looks extremely unfavorably on putting in for overtime and there is no such thing as comp. time. When I tried to stop coming in early, he also let me know that he didn't appreciate that either!
