I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?

Those are long hours. Is this a big box chain?

Do you start work at 4:30 as well, or she comes in before you? What are your shift hours. And legally, depending on where you are located you are required to take a certain amount of breaks. I'm assuming this isn't a big box chain, since just one manager has so much power. Is it a smaller business?

State laws differ but as long as you're being paid for every minute you work, there's very little that can be done in a right to work state. I would research the specific labor laws (federal and state) and see what she may be violating.

Technically like everyone else is saying you are required to take breaks. It does depend on the job. I know I work several jobs. I have to take my breaks in between customers. I cannot stay away from the desk for so long due to being the only person. I've only seen breaks given when you are working with other people. These are usually big business.
