    Worked at a place that if you came in early that was okay but not seen as overtime. (not that you got payed for it but they wanted you to work more than 40 hours)

    I worked at a place where overtime was not allowed except in some exceptional cases, so when the bell rang and I was fixing something, I had to punch out and stay until everything was ok.

    Not cool.

    If you are making me clock out, then I am leaving. Not working for free. I've done that (work for free) far too much and it isn't right of an employer to demand it.

    It wasn't the worst thing in that place.

    I was also forced drink coffee at my desk, because the CEO didn't want to see more than 2 people at the coffee machine.

    I was promised a raise when I was hired and it never arrived.

    Professional training, conferences and workshops were seen as a personal "bonus" to the employee and you had to get the CEO in person to approve it, because time outside the office is "wasted time".

    The only good thing about that job is that it forced me into freelancing. Worst job ever turned into best job ever.

    Two years after I left, the company was in financial issues. Karma is a bitch.
