If you work 40 hours a week - under the table - and then stand up, will you bump your head?

I'd be more worried about my a$$, and Uncle Sam kicking it.

What do you think would happen if he complained to (anyone)?\n\nHe should either seek employment elsewhere or learn how to sleep while standing on his feet.

No, they owe you nothing. Unless you are working for a set salary, your employer has the absolute right to set your standard work hours. If you clock in early, without being directed by an authorized supervisor to do so, then you are, in effect, establishing your own work hours and schedule. Likewise, if you work more than 8 hours, they would be mandated under federal law to pay for the overtime, which they might not have in their budget. The FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) is very clear about such things. Yes, you can be  "docked" (penalized with loss of pay) for clocking in late, but you're not allowed to sign in to work even a minute before your scheduled starting time. I really wish it were not this way, but imagine what would happen if this were allowed to happen? You clock in 10 minutes before your shift, but I clock in an hour beforehand. Where does a manager draw the line at the definition of "early for work"? To be fair to all, they had to make this an absolute starting time. Sorry! If you want to clock in early, see your manager about adjusting your shift starting time.

if you are thinking about it hard and if it makes you miserable, then yes. just give a 2 weeks notice so you will have a good reference. you should never stay in anything that makes you dread your life

I know what you mean.. Although, I believe its not just all about working hard. I know people who work 60 hours a week, hard work and make less than others who work 20 hours a week and half as hard. (My respect to those who work hard though but more respect for those who work smart.)\n\nI am one of those people who say's I worked hard this week although I really didn't (I just made a lot of money so easily). I guess it depends on how well you WORK YOUR MIND. Mental labor is far more rewarding than physical labor. And I am not talking about people who have a college diploma and just sit in an office making 6 figures a year necesarilly (cause thats not my case either). \nIm talking about people who actually use their brain having school or not. Those who have little or no education and are extremely rich and powerfull. \n\nIt is said that, "The greatest opportunities in the world are seen with the mind, and not with the eyes".

NO. I think that would be impossible. We cannot flourish if people are not working. Outsourcing causes Americans to loose jobs. Think of the problem on an individual level, if as an individual you cannot take care of yourself and have to depend on others what would happen? Just like individuals our country needs to be self sufficient.

Can you reduce your hours to one evening a week? Or maybe quit just now and then go back in the holidays/ when they're short staffed.\n\nNo point ruining your future for the sake of a part-time job.

Do you mean that it is behind the time?\n\nIf so it just offsets the time. It does not keep you at work longer.

Well, I'm sure it could, but I find it hard to believe that you held down your head for 8 hours/day for 10 years.  Sounds like you are trying to "build a case" for worker's comp.  Ruptured disc usually caused by injury.

Ha, Ha...in some places they might as well--there have been days when my son had to work 20 hours--and be back in 4 or 5.  Might as well have sleepovers at the jobs that do that.

Depends on what you want to do, but in general...\n\nAds\n-The buck stops with you, you answer only to the customer.\n\nDisads\n-You don't pick your own hours, the hours pick you.\n-Unless you have other staff, you are: customer service, human resources, accountant, front office, back office, cashier, secretary, president, laborer...\n-Your "shop" hours are predictable, your work hours are not.\n-You will give up your social life.\n-You will work a lot of hours - 60+ hours/week.\n-You will risk a lot of capital without knowing it.  Money will go to places and thing other than you (at first).\n-Did I mention the hours?\n\nIf you're young, single, and no kids, I'd highly recommend it.  You'll regret not doing it later in life.

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

sound like your tired of you job? maybe ask for a new position?

yes ... always have been ... I get in to work about 8:20-8:30 ... I'm supposed to be here at 8 ... it doesn't matter if I left the house 30 minutes earlier ... I would still get here late ... sigh ... \n\nI'm lucky that I have a relaxed office and that I can put in hours as needed ... sometimes its 8 hrs a day others are 10 hour days ... it all balances in the end

I dont see why it would, as long as you get some sleep... I think Newton slept like 2 hours a night to get more time to work... and heres a tip... stop referring to your life in the past tense... kind of depressing.

When you come to work and everyone is yelling at you would you want to stay?

I would think it would depend on were you work and how much a person makes a week.
